The Book of Changes - the interpretation of hexagram №2

Kun. Execution

Even the most intense creativity cannot be realized if there is no environment in which it will be realized. But this environment, in order to realize absolute creativity, must also be absolutely malleable and plastic. In addition, she must be deprived of any initiative of her own, must, in complete selflessness, only echo and follow the impulses of creativity. But at the same time, she should not be powerless, otherwise she would not be able to fulfill what is a creative intention. Therefore, she - a completely selfless force - is expressed metaphorically in the image of a mare, which, although devoid of the temper of a horse, is not inferior to him in the ability to act.

If Creativity is Heaven, Light, a Perfect Man, then Fulfillment is Earth, Darkness, a Noble Man, listening and executing the instructions of the Perfect Man. It is he who will act here in fulfillment of the instructions of the Perfect Man. Therefore, if he began to act not on these instructions, but on his own initiative, he could only be delusional. And only by following his master can he find him. So, for a noble person here it is best, having lost friends like himself, to find a friend above his standing, who makes up for his shortcomings with his qualities.

In the spatial symbolism of the "Book", the southwest is considered an area of \u200b\u200bdarkness, since the extinction of light begins there. And, in contrast, the northeast - the region where light originates - is considered the region of light. Fulfillment is expressed in the features of darkness, so he needs to lose similar forces in the southwest and find replenishing forces - a "friend" - in the northeast to obey them. At the same time, it is important that the activity of the Execution proceeds in complete tranquility, in a submissive acceptance of its fate, without overdevelopment, otherwise its activity will not fulfill the plans of Creativity, but compete with them. Darkness will enter into an unlawful battle with light, which cannot lead to a good result, for the power of darkness is blind necessity, not clear consciousness.

If the first symbol refers primarily to the sovereign, husband, etc., then the symbol Fulfillment tells about the activities of the subject, wife, etc. It shows the evolving need for Fulfillment. This is expressed in the text as follows:

Execution.
In the initial development, the stamina of the mare is favorable.
A noble man has to act
[but] if he moves forward, he gets lost,
stepping back, he will find a master.
[Here] it is favorable to find a friend in the south-west
and in the northeast to lose a friend.
Calm resilience is happiness.

1. The first moment of Fulfillment is such that it itself is still imperceptible in it. And yet it will be carried out with complete necessity. Even if the power of darkness and cold has not yet been revealed here. But she has already begun to act. Even if the frost has already fallen, the future frost is not yet noticeable, but if the frost has fallen, it means that the time is not far away when strong ice will come, in which cold and darkness will fully manifest.

The growth of the power of darkness can be understood in a figurative sense: this is the time when more and more "insignificance" - immoral people can begin to act. We must anticipate events and be ready to meet with them. Therefore, the words of the text sound like a warning:

In the beginning, a weak point.
[If you] stepped on the frost, [it means] that strong ice is coming.

2. In the symbolism of the geometric shapes of the "Book", the sky is assigned the shape of a circle, and the earth - a square. Spatially, the sky is thought of as domed, and the earth is "straight," flat. But, entering into interaction with the sky, the earth must fully adapt to it in order to carry out its impulses. Despite the difference in their forms, this is possible due to the vastness of the earth. (The ancient Chinese idea that an infinitely large square tends to turn into a circle is attested in Chapter 41 of the Tao Te Ching: “The great square has no corners.”) In each symbol of the Book, one of the features is considered the main one. In this case, this is precisely the second feature. Therefore, the quality of this symbol is mainly expressed in it. And since in this case this quality is available in full measure, then no preliminary exercises are required here; no preliminary preparation is needed, and everything develops favorably by itself. Only in the light of these thoughts does the text become clear:

Weakness in second [place].
The flat square is huge.
[Although] you don't prepare, there will be nothing unfavorable.

3. After the first, internal revelation of this situation, a certain crisis ensues again. During it, free activity is impossible. A person can have the most beautiful qualities, but time does not favor him. Therefore, he must harbor his brilliance. He can be persistent and can even act, but only on the condition that his activity does not take place on his own initiative, but only on the instructions of a leader standing above him, then only his work can be brought to the desired end. That is why the text also says:

Weakness in third [place].
Hold [your] brilliance and you can be persistent.
It is possible that if you act in the wake of the leader,
without doing anything himself, then the matter will be brought to an end.

4. With the passivity of the power of Darkness characteristic of Fulfillment, the state of crisis is somewhat delayed. Therefore, although in the fourth position he has already passed, his influence still remains. A person can have a lot, but here it is better for him to hide what he has: tie a bag. This position symbolizes the position of a person close to the sovereign. His position is unstable and full of troubles. Of course, if a person in this position begins to keep in the shadows, then the danger will not threaten him, however, remaining invisible, he cannot count on any kind of praise. So, in the text we read:

Weakness in fourth [place].
Tie the bag.
There will be no blasphemy, no praise.

5. Both the second and fifth lines as middle lines in the lower and upper trigrams express one of the most important qualities: poise, understood as the ability to always be in the right place without extremes. [This central position is expressed in an image that requires some decoding. The fact is that the gamut of colors, according to ancient Chinese views, does not consist of seven (like ours), but of five colors, and in it the yellow color occupies a central position. Therefore, in the aphorisms relating to the second and fifth features, there are often images with the epithet "yellow."] In addition, yellow is the color of the Earth. The fifth line in this symbol, although it is not the main one, but occupying the most advantageous position in the upper trigram, denoting the external, it still symbolizes the possibility of manifestation outside. Outward manifestation is a kind of clothing. But since here we are talking about the Earth, then its position, which is lower in relation to Heaven, is reflected in the fact that the lower part of Chinese clothing is indicated in the image: a skirt. The favorableness of this position makes it possible to speak here not only of happiness, but even of "primordial happiness". After these explanations, the text will probably not seem incomprehensible:

Weakness in fifth [place].
Yellow skirt.
Primordial happiness.

6. The sixth position expresses the overdevelopment of this situation. The Power of Darkness, being overdeveloped, comes into conflict with the power of Light. Here, at the extreme position, on the outskirts, Light and Darkness, Heaven and Earth, which are inherent in blue and yellow, respectively, are fighting. Fortunately, this battle cannot be, since it is a violation of world law, and now the "blood of dragons" is pouring:

Upstairs is a weak point.
Dragons fight on the outskirts.
Their blood is blue and yellow.

Summary

To avoid such a battle under the action of the forces of darkness - weak features - one must always bear in mind that here favorable maybe only eternal firmness. This is also indicated by the general warning to this symbol:

Under the influence of weak traits, eternal stamina is favorable.

The earth never returns without surplus what it has received.
Cicero Mark Tullius

Composition

GUA UPPER, KUN. EARTH. OBEDIENCE. MOTHER. SOUTHWEST. STOMACH.
GUA LOWER, KUN. EARTH. OBEDIENCE. MOTHER. SOUTHWEST. STOMACH.

Earth is the universal mother

The earth was worshiped because it bore fruit and took it back into its bosom. This Great Mother of myths became a symbol of motherhood, forming the first married couple together with Heaven. She symbolizes fertility and rebirth. Contact with earthly forces gives the ability to strengthen, recreate, give birth. Hence the funeral custom - to give the deceased the form of an embryo, so that Mother Earth would return him to the world of the living for the second time. The desire to return to their homeland, which each of those who emigrated, is a subconscious need for spiritual rebirth. The land is associated with fertility - agricultural work is like sexual intercourse, a woman is a furrow drawn by a plow share (phallic symbol), unplowed land is a barren woman. According to the Orphic tradition, the Earth is fertilized by a life-giving spirit descending in the form of ether and water.

Earth - the passive feminine principle - is opposed to the Heaven - active, masculine.

In China, the Earth (one or two), Yin, is one of the five elements, or forces of change, and corresponds to the center, yellow, the number "two", sweet taste, millet, hairless animals, the most important of which is man. The square Earth is symbolized by the hexagram KUN (sometimes - KUEN), complementing QIAN (or HYEN), Heaven.

Passivity, sensitivity, gentleness, self-sacrifice are attributed to the earth - these qualities are inherent in women. But, in addition to all that has been said, the energy of perception, development, diplomacy, and consent is also attributed to the Earth. The expression "Heaven - Earth" means the world. Astrologers, astronomers designate the term "di-ji" (branch of the earth) twelve signs of the cycle, depicted in the form of a circle, in contrast to chan-gan (trunks of the sky), signs of a binary cycle. There are many mysteries describing the Earth as a place of descent into hell. According to cosmogonic concepts, the Earth has a central core and consists of nine layers: mineral Earth, corresponding to the chemical region of the physical world; the liquid layer is the etheric region of the physical world, the layer of vapor, where life trembles, connected with the world of desires, which surrounds the Earth and penetrates into it; a layer of water that contains archetypal forces - a direct, physical expression of the field of thought; the layer of embryos, where the primary source of life is located and the first impulse that created all forms of the Earth corresponds to abstract thought; a fiery layer from which feelings of pleasure, grief, sympathy and antipathy emerge, corresponding to the Life Spirit; a reflective layer, a reflection of the moral state of a person - there are immoral forces, called for some reason the laws of nature, - it corresponds to the world of the Divine spirit; an atomic layer endowed with an extraordinary ability to expand and expressing the world of virgin minds; material Expression of the Spirit of the Earth, closely related to the brain, heart, genitals of man and corresponding to the world of God; the center of residence of the Spirit of the Earth, the last area that feeds the Earth, corresponding to the Absolute.

The earth is associated with man, the microcosm. What is a man? In order to accurately predict the lives and destinies of people, you need to have enough knowledge about the person himself, and not just understand the essence of gua and hexagrams.

The myth of the cosmic man exists in all traditional cultures. Someone generally considers him to be the support of the Universe, like Atlanta. Cosmic, or universal man, is "enclosed" in nine points of the knight's shield and contains all the stages and steps of the universe. The upper part of the shield, points A, B, C, correspond to the head, the top of its body, the reflection of the celestial body, the head has organs of orientation and control. Thanks to the head, a person finds landmarks despite difficulties. At point E is the heart, the original ocean, the focus of all possibilities - in it the awareness of existence, the symbol of intuitive life. Neck - D, corridor connecting the head with the body; the place of honor is decorated with necklaces and other expensive ornaments. The navel corresponds to the F point and especially to the H point, the left side of the body, for this area is most vulnerable. The legs correspond to the I point at the bottom of the shield - these are symbols of constancy and determination in the face of fate.

Man (nan) in China is equated to Yang energy. Literature identifies two main types of people - a primitive military man, uncouth and courageous (the same type is a "bumpkin"), and also a civil servant, distinguished by gentleness, lack of belligerence; he is passive.

The organism is a Unity, a microcosm - this truth found its expression in the "Her Ching", a medical treatise, 474-221. to P. X. This Oneness, the microcosm, is considered implanted in the macrocosm. Being between Heaven and Earth, a person experiences the influence of both, and these influences are opposite - active and passive. In the system of correspondences, which is very developed in the Chinese tradition, the internal organs are put into correspondence with five elements that govern all animate and inanimate natural beings, all phenomena of the invisible world: the liver and blood vessels, the gallbladder, the organs of vision correspond to the Tree, the East; organs of movement, spleen, night, bladder - Water, Rain, North; lungs, large intestine, bile, organs of hearing - to Metal and the West; organs of speech, gut, pericardial sac - to Fire and the South; brain and nervous system, stomach, heart - to the Earth and Center. More on this in the fifth chapter.

In "Zhou Yi" gua KUN is given a belly, yellow color and southwest.

Conformity with Tarot

This gua can be compared with Arcanum II of the Tarot system, the High Priestess. The priestess is a woman, she is always shrouded in doubt; the need for choice always hovers around her - everything that is associated with a dyad, a biner. Biner expresses in the divine world the Consciousness of the Absolute in three time plates, in the intellectual world it is a reflection of science and truth, in the physical world it is a woman, a form. The mind is enlightened with the eyes of will, and the essence of Arcanum II is the wisdom of the female nature, spiritual knowledge and the ability to keep secrets, to be silent. The priestess can be compared with the creative Earth, and with any idea. But the idea should be revealed in the biner and affirmed in it. In the nature of every creature, two opposite principles are revealed and one fights with the other. Therefore, the first step on the path of such a struggle is submission to a stronger principle, wiser and more creative, to one who has already done a lot in life and, most importantly, has solved the riddle of being. But intelligence should not be confused with wisdom, for the world is full of fools with unprecedented intelligence who use their minds not to eliminate delusions, but to confirm them. Cognition of the Truth in all its brilliance is difficult even for very wise people, and it is all the more difficult for the ignorant to consider the path to be followed. But all the same, you need to follow the wise and knowledgeable, not being afraid of Darkness; one should try to find the Truth even within the limits of one's own capabilities, establishing the world in bpners. The trial and error method is comprehensive and general. This is both a duty and a necessity, if a person has a mature will, he will see the radiance of truth and reach the heights of perfection. The attainment of Truth is the highest meaning of both Gua KUN and Arcanum II of the Great Tarot. Let's get acquainted with the number "two", the personification of biner.

The symbol of polarity, opposition, division of unity into masculine and feminine principles (Yang and Yin), the number "two" is also a symbol of sexuality.

Two are ego ambivalence, a dualism symbolized by an androgyne (a being that combines male and female characteristics) or an animal, such as a snail with male and female genitals.

Dynamic and mobile, present in dreams, this number, according to L. Paneth, is the number of separation, separation, decomposition, containing the "enzyme of separation".

Any gua can be represented tarologically. For example, a person conducting divination according to "Zhou Yi" doubts some aspects of divination, then he can turn to the Tarot and, by comparing the data, more accurately determine what awaits him or what he is mistaken about. For this, a parallel is drawn with the great knowledge of the Tarot.

Gua KUN can be represented as Arcana assigned to each of the six levels. By the way, the reading of the row, which can be called the WAY, is performed according to the Chinese tradition from the very bottom row of the gua.

So, the gua KUN formula is: never give up effort that can be beneficial. Create, preserve, fulfill the commandments, love mother nature. Use her powers for the good of society, do not destroy. A creative position is always a blessing, all the more backed up by practical deeds, illuminated by science and will. In business, discretion is prudent. Wisdom is a category of quality of Creation. But do not rely on praise and reward, for the latter are not always good, they can conceal a code of danger. Do not rely on glory and honor, do not offend nature, she is your home, preserve and take care of nature now and ever and forever and ever. When your forces are depleted, hope for a new choice, hope that your choice is the most correct and creative one, continue this position in subsequent incarnations. Wars and battles drain strength and lead to disaster. Be meek, obedient, constant, creative. When the feminine doubts the masculine, Yin - in Yang, there will be a difficulty, which the next gua - ZHUN will tell us about, followed by a diagram of six correspondences of gua KUN with the Great Tarot.

KUN can serve as a symbol of a client, a lady in complex divinations.

Summary. Divination interpretation

1. Social status, politics.

The goal in this area will be achieved by consistency, a steady movement towards the goal. The course of action is correct. Endurance, patience are the main driving forces. Success is assured.

2. Business (everything related to the material world, Taurus, Pentacles).

In business, there is also a gradual accumulation of capital. Hard work. They say she works like KUN, like Mother Earth. Receive a reward for righteous labors.

3. Relationships (love, gender relations, family life)

In a love relationship, the tone is set by the woman, the feminine principle. The family is matriarchy. In love, the dictator is also a lady.

4. Interpersonal relationships.

Interpersonal relationships. Here is the same gradualness in the growth of sympathy.

5. Health (on the physical and subtle planes).

Health is from the Earth, strong, but diseases of the respiratory system as a whole are possible.

6. Trend.

The trend is accumulation and hard work. Women's priority.

THE MAIN ARCANUM OF CONFORMITY - ARCANUM II

The main Arcanum of correspondence is Arcanum II, but the following are also suitable: Arcanum VII, Arcanum XIX, Arcanum XVIII, Arcanum IX inverted, Arcanum XX, Arcanum 0.

Arcanum II, leading Arcanum of the sign KUN. He is the gateway to heaven, thus corresponding to the Moon, which is the "gateway to heaven". A man must "penetrate the virgin, reconciling opposites in his own nature, and destroy his own dualism."

In terms of modern psychology, the Papess or High Priestess is a virgin subconscious. She is under cover, in order to release energy, you need to penetrate under the cover, a symbol of creativity and action. Consciousness must be "awakened" and united with thoughts, if this is not the case - Arcanum has an ominous meaning ...

Vera Sklyarova. Card Canon "I Ching"

ADAPTED VERSION

The gods awakened mother earth. Work hard and in two months your efforts will be crowned with great success. You are a cultured and knowledge-hungry person; you treat even the smallest fruits of your labor with love. Very attached to their mother. Now is not the time to give vent to greed, so do not think too much about material gain. Your wish will come true, although not immediately. In the near future, it is not recommended to go on the road - neither alone, nor with anyone. Soon a person will appear in your environment who has a strong interest in you.

General interpretation according to Yu. Shutsky

Even the most intense creativity cannot be realized if there is no environment in which it will be realized. But this environment, in order to realize absolute creativity, must also be absolutely malleable and plastic. In addition, she must be deprived of any initiative of her own, must, in complete selflessness, only echo and follow the impulses of creativity.

But at the same time, she would not be able to fulfill what is the creative intention. Therefore, she - a completely selfless force - is expressed metaphorically in the image of a mare, which, although devoid of the temper of a horse, is not inferior to him in the ability to act. If Creativity is Heaven, Light, Perfect Man, then Fulfillment is Earth, Darkness.

A noble person who hears and obeys the instructions of the Perfect Person. It is he who here has to act not on these instructions, but on his own initiative, then he could only be mistaken. And only by following his master can he find him.

So, for a noble person here it is best, having lost friends like him, to find a friend above his standing, who makes up for his shortcomings with his qualities. In the spatial symbolism of the Book, the southwest is considered an area of \u200b\u200bdarkness, since the extinction of light begins there.

And, in contrast, the northeast - the region where light originates - is considered the region of light. Fulfillment is expressed in the features of darkness, so he needs to lose forces similar to him in the southwest and find replenishing "friend" forces in the northeast in order to obey them.

At the same time, it is important that the activity of the Execution proceeds in complete calmness, in a submissive acceptance of its fate, without overdevelopment, otherwise its activity will not fulfill the intentions of creativity, but compete with them. Darkness will enter into an unlawful battle with light, which cannot lead to a good result, for the power of darkness is a blind necessity, not a clear consciousness.

If the first symbol refers primarily to the sovereign, husband, etc., then the symbol Fulfillment tells about the activities of the subject, wife, etc. It shows the evolving need for Fulfillment.

In the text it is expressed as follows: In the initial development, the stamina of the mare is favorable. A noble person has to act, but if he moves forward, he will get lost, while stepping back, he will find a master. Here it is favorable to find a friend in the southwest and to lose a friend in the northeast. Calm resilience is happiness.

Even the most intense creativity cannot be realized if there is no environment in which it will be realized. But this environment, in order to realize absolute creativity, must also be absolutely malleable and plastic. In addition, she must be deprived of any initiative of her own, must, in complete selflessness, only echo and follow the impulses of creativity. But at the same time, she would not be able to fulfill what is the creative intention. Therefore, she - a completely selfless force - is expressed metaphorically in the image of a mare, which, although devoid of the temper of a horse, is not inferior to him in the ability to act.

If Creativity is Heaven, Light, Perfect Man, then Fulfillment is Earth, Darkness. A noble person who hears and obeys the instructions of the Perfect Person. It is he who here has to act not on these instructions, but on his own initiative, then he could only be mistaken. And only by following his master can he find him. So, for a noble person here it is best, having lost friends like him, to find a friend above his standing, who makes up for his shortcomings with his qualities.

In the spatial symbolism of the Book, the southwest is considered an area of \u200b\u200bdarkness, since the extinction of light begins there. And, in contrast, the northeast - the region where light originates - is considered the region of light. Execution is expressed in the features of darkness, so he needs to lose forces similar to him in the southwest and find replenishing forces - a "friend" - in the northeast in order to obey them. At the same time, it is important that the activity of the Execution proceeds in complete calmness, in a submissive acceptance of its fate, without overdevelopment, otherwise its activity will not fulfill the intentions of creativity, but compete with them. Darkness will enter into an unlawful battle with light, which cannot lead to a good result, for the power of darkness is a blind necessity, not a clear consciousness.

If the first symbol refers primarily to the sovereign, husband, etc., then the symbol Fulfillment tells about the activities of the subject, wife, etc. It shows the evolving need for Fulfillment. In the text it is expressed as follows: In the initial development, the stamina of the mare is favorable. A noble person has to act, but if he moves forward, he will get lost, while stepping back, he will find a master. Here it is favorable to find a friend in the southwest and to lose a friend in the northeast. Calm endurance is happiness.

The first moment of Fulfillment is such that it itself is still imperceptible in it. And yet it will be carried out with complete necessity. Even if the power of Darkness and Cold has not yet been revealed here. But she has already begun to act. Even if the frost has already fallen out, the future frost is not yet noticeable, but if the frost has fallen, it means that the time is not far away when there will be strong ice, in which cold and darkness will already be fully manifested.

The growth of strength and darkness can be understood in a figurative sense: this is the time when more and more "insignificance" - immoral people can begin to act. We must anticipate events and be ready to meet with them. Therefore, the words of the text sound like a warning: At the beginning, a weak line. If you stepped on the frost, then strong ice is coming.

In the symbolism of the geometric shapes of the Book, the sky is assigned the shape of a circle, and the earth - a square. Spatially, the sky is thought of as domed, and the earth is “straight,” flat. But, entering into interaction with the sky, the earth must fully adapt to it in order to carry out its impulses. Despite the difference in their forms, this is possible due to the vastness of the earth. (The ancient Chinese idea that an infinitely large square seeks to turn into a circle is attested in Chapter 41 of the Tao Te Ching: “The great square has no corners.”) In each symbol of the Book, one of the features is considered the main one. In this case, this is precisely the second feature. Therefore, the quality of this symbol is mainly expressed in it. And since in this case this quality is available in full measure, no preliminary exercises are required here: no preliminary preparation is needed, and everything develops favorably by itself. Only in the light of these thoughts does the text become understandable: Weak line in second place. The flat square is huge. Even though you don't prepare, there will be nothing negative.

After the first, internal revelation of this situation, a certain crisis occurs again. During it, free activity is impossible. A person can have the most beautiful qualities, but time does not favor him. Therefore, he must harbor his brilliance. He can be persistent and can even act, but only on the condition that his activity does not take place on his own initiative, but only according to the instructions of his superior leader, then only his work can be brought to the desired end. That is why the text also says: Weak line is in third place. Hold your shine and you can stay persistent. It is possible that if you act, following the leader, without doing anything, then the matter will be brought to an end.

With the passivity of the power of Darkness characteristic of Fulfillment, the state of the crisis is somewhat delayed. Therefore, although he has already passed in fourth position, his impact still remains. A person can have a lot, but here it is better for him to hide what he has: tie a bag. This position symbolizes the position of a person close to the sovereign. His position is unstable and full of troubles. Of course, if a person in such a position keeps in the background, then the danger will not threaten him, however, remaining unnoticed, he cannot count on any kind of praise. So, in the text we read: Weak line in fourth place. Tie the bag. There will be no blasphemy, no praise.

Both the second and fifth lines, as the middle lines in the lower and upper trigrams, express one of the most important qualities: poise, understood as the ability to always be in the right place without extremes. (This central position is expressed in an image that requires some decoding. The fact is that the gamut of colors, according to ancient Chinese views, consists not of seven (like ours), but of five colors, and in it the yellow color occupies a central position. Therefore, in aphorisms, referring to the second and fifth traits, there are often images with the epithet "yellow"). Also, yellow is the color of the Earth. The fifth line in this symbol, although it is not the main one, but, occupying the most advantageous position in the upper trigram, denoting the external, it still symbolizes the possibility of manifestation outside. The outer manifestation is a kind of clothing. But since here we are talking about the Earth, then its position, which is lower in relation to Heaven, is reflected in the fact that the lower part of Chinese clothing is indicated in the image: "skirt". The favorableness of this position makes it possible to speak here not only of happiness, but even of “primordial happiness”. After these explanations, the text will probably not seem incomprehensible: Weak line in fifth place. Yellow skirt. Primordial happiness.

The sixth position expresses the overdevelopment of this situation. The Power of Darkness, being overdeveloped, comes into conflict with the power of Light. Here, at the extreme position, on the outskirts, Light and Darkness, Heaven and Earth, which are characterized by blue and yellow colors, are fighting. Fortunately, this battle cannot be, since it is a violation of the world law, and now the "blood of dragons" is pouring: Above is a weak point. Dragons fight on the outskirts. Their blood is blue and yellow. To avoid such a battle under the action of the forces of Darkness - weak traits - one must always keep in mind that only eternal fortitude can be favorable here. This is also indicated by the general warning to this symbol: When weak traits are active, eternal resistance is favorable.

Execution in external and internal. Everything is natural and predetermined - if you step on frost, then strong ice is close. Everything happens by itself, as it should happen - and without exercise there will be nothing unfavorable; without doing it yourself, you will finish the job.

But in this trigram there is no place for the manifestations of the Absolute, for Yang. This means that the world is tied like a bag, self-sufficient and protected from external influences. But such a world cannot suit a developed consciousness, for him this situation is meaningless, because this world is necessary for him only to approach the Absolute - dragons are fighting on the outskirts.

Hayslip interpretation

The gods awakened mother earth. You need to work hard, and your efforts will be crowned with great success in two months. You are a cultured and knowledge-hungry person, with love for even the smallest fruits of your labor. You are respectful and attached to your mother. Now do not think too much about material gain, do not give vent to selfishness. Your wish will come true, although not immediately. It is not recommended to go on the road in the near future - neither alone, nor with anyone. A person who has a strong interest in you will soon appear in your circle.
