Based on the I Ching reading for your query, “Can I get the fish profit (some business)”:

1. Analysis of the Main Hexagram (Hexagram 19, Lín - Approaching)

The Lín hexagram signifies a time of growth, opportunity, and positive upward momentum. It represents a period where those in a superior position oversee and nurture, much like the earth over a lake. For your business, this indicates that the current timing is very favorable for approaching this venture. The conditions are ripe for growth and success. However, the hexagram also contains a warning: “When the eighth month comes, there will be misfortune,” which reminds you that periods of peak prosperity do not last forever. You should act now but also plan for the long term.

2. Analysis of the Changing Lines

You have two changing lines, which provide specific guidance on how to act:

• Line 2 (Nine in the second place): “咸临，吉无不利” (Sincere/joint approach, good fortune, nothing is unfavorable). This is a very auspicious line. “咸” (xián) suggests sincerity, feeling, and a joint or all-inclusive effort. This line advises you to approach your business with genuine passion, transparency, and perhaps in cooperation with others. An approach from the heart, rather than one based purely on calculation, will lead to “good fortune, where nothing is unfavorable.” This is a strong affirmation for your endeavor.

• Line 4 (Six in the fourth place): “至临，无咎” (Arriving to approach, no blame). “至” (zhì) means to arrive or to reach the utmost. This line is in an appropriate position and close to the leadership line (line 5). It indicates that your approach is correct, timely, and you are getting close to the key elements or people for success. By acting appropriately and following the right course, you will encounter “no blame,” meaning you will avoid making significant mistakes.

3. Guidance for Your Business Venture

The reading is highly positive for your business venture.

• The situation is favorable: The main hexagram, Lín, confirms that this is an excellent time to start or advance your business.
• The path to success is clear: The changing lines guide you to act with sincerity and in cooperation with others (Line 2), while also being strategic and correct in your actions (Line 4). This combination of heartfelt engagement and proper conduct is your key to success.
• The potential outcome is excellent: The changing lines transform the hexagram into Hexagram 55, Fēng (Abundance). This resulting hexagram symbolizes a time of great prosperity, fullness, and peak achievement, like the “sun at midday.”

Conclusion: Yes, the prospect of gaining profit from this business is very high. The oracle advises you to proceed with a sincere and well-executed approach. If you do, the outcome points towards great abundance and success.
