An interpretive English translation. Read the translation notes. Six and nine name line types; positions run from bottom to top.

Feng: Success. The king reaches it. Do not worry. Fitting is the sun at midday.
初九：遇其配主，雖旬无咎，往有尚。

六二：豐其蔀，日中見斗，往得疑疾，有孚發若，吉。
Six in the second place: Thickening the screen; the Dipper is visible at noon. Going brings suspicion and affliction. With trust that opens the way, auspicious.
九三：豐其沛，日中見沫，折其右肱，无咎。
Nine in the third place: Thickening the covering; small stars are visible at noon. Breaking the right arm. No blame.
九四：豐其蔀，日中見斗，遇其夷主，吉。

02 / A POSSIBLE CONTEXT
What might the question have been?
At a height of prosperity or power, what does sudden darkness or lost contact mean?
A possible setting
A king arrives, yet stars appear at noon and coverings obscure the house. These images may evoke eclipses, thick cloud, or obstructed political perception; the cause is not settled.
How the words respond
The judgment favors the fullness of midday. The lines distinguish meeting a matching host, suspicion amid obscurity, an injured arm, a welcome arrival, and finally a household so enclosed that nobody is seen for years.
Abundance coexists with obstruction. The apparent high point is not free from disruption.
This scenario adapts the Chinese edition's historical reading. It is a possible reconstruction, not an established single event or the only interpretation.
