Hexagram 51, Zhèn (The Arousing Thunder): Line 6 (top)
震卦上六 · 震为雷 · 中文版
上六：震索索，视矍矍，征凶。震不于其躬，于其邻，无咎。婚媾有言。
The line (Legge)
The topmost SIX, divided, shows its subject, amidst the startling movements (of the time), in breathless dismay and looking round him with trembling apprehension. If he take action, there will be evil. If, while the startling movements have not reached his own person and his neighbourhood, (he were to take precautions), there would be no error, though his relatives might (still) speak against him.
Small Image commentary
'Amid the startling movements he is in breathless dismay:' - he has not found out (the course of) the due mean. 'Though evil (threatens), he will not fall into error:' - he is afraid of being warned by his neighbours.
象曰：震索索，中未得也。虽凶无咎，畏邻戒也。
In plain words
Thunder scatters the spirit and the eyes dart about: setting out brings misfortune. If the thunder strikes not oneself but one's neighbour, taking warning brings no fault, though there will be talk among in-laws. The top line is at the end of the hexagram. The Small Image says it has not found the middle, and though there is misfortune there is no fault, because it took warning from its neighbour.
Applying it to your situation
If someone near you has been hit by misfortune, this line suggests taking it as a warning and preparing ahead. What has someone else's experience reminded you of?
Position
A broken (yin) line in the top place, which is a yin (even) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 3; both are yin, so they do not respond.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Zhèn changes into Hexagram 21 Shì Kè (Biting Through). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·震之噬嗑.
The hexagram
Hexagram 51 Zhèn (The Arousing Thunder). The Judgment: Zhen gives the intimation of ease and development. When (the time of) movement (which it indicates) comes, (the subject of the hexagram) will be found looking out with apprehension, and yet smiling and talking cheerfully. When the movement (like a crash of thunder) terrifies all within a hundred Li, he will be (like the sincere worshipper) who is not (startled into) letting go his ladle and (cup of) sacrificial spirits.
