The lower trigram is Kan : gorge or water, and the upper trigram is Kun : field or earth.          B. The Judgment    1. The Army. The army needs perseverance        And a strong man.     2. Good fortune without blame. C. The Image   1. In the middle of the earth is water:       The image of The Army.   2. Thus the superior man increases his masses,       By generosity toward the people. II. My interpretation   A. "Discipline" As with any soldier setting out to complete a mission, do not let personal feelings intersect the command of duty. Always remember Duty First, and then all will farewell. Within the plane of organizational activities, there are leaders and there are followers. If one is to assume the position of leadership at any

The lower trigram is Qian : force or heaven, and the upper trigram is Kan : gorge or water.          B. The Judgment    1. Waiting. If you are sincere,        You have light and success.     2. Perseverance brings good fortune.    3. It furthers one to cross the great water. C. The Image   1. Clouds rise up to heaven:       The image of Waiting.   2. Thus the superior man eats and drinks,       And is joyous and of good cheer . II. My interpretation   A. "Waiting" Now is a good time to just " kick-back", and dwell on inactivity, for the moment. For now, stay out of the mainstream of things. This hexagram warns us to wait until success is a sure thing. Three people come uninvited, treat them with due reverence and this act alone should also stre

Its lower and upper trigrams are the same,  gen : bound or  mountain.         B. The Judgment    1. Keeping Still. Keeping his back still        So that he no longer feels his body.     2. He goes into his courtyard        And does not see his people.        No blame. C. The Image   1. Mountains standing close together:       The image of Keeping Still.   2. Thus the superior man       Does not permit his thoughts       To go beyond his situation.  II. My interpretation   A. "Keeping Still" After reviewing this hexagram, the only precept I can get from it is meditation . It is a time for some quietude and Zen , so to speak. It is true that in order for the face to reflect a calm demeanor, that projection must come from within, just as the lotus flowe

Its lower and upper trigrams are identical, being Xun : ground or wind.         B. The Judgment    1. The Gentle. Success through what is small.        It furthers one to have somewhere to go.     2. It furthers one to see the great man. C. The Image   1. Winds following one upon the other:       The image of The Firm Penetrates the middle;       What is willed is fulfilled.   2. Thus the superior man       Spreads his commands abroad       And carries out the will of Heaven.  II. My interpretation   A. "The Gentle" With this hexagram we see a person who is somewhat in doubt as to when he should capture the opportunity to move forward. This is due to the disposition that he or she has, without cause, placed upon themselves. A

Variations include Before Completion and Not Yet Completed. The lower trigram is Kan : gorge or water, and the upper trigram is Li : radiance or fire.         B. The Judgment    1. Before Completion. Success.        But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing,        Gets his tail in the water,    2. There is nothing that would further. C. The Image   1. Fire over water:       The image of the condition before the transition.   2. Thus the superior is careful       In the differentiation of things,       So that each finds its place.  II. My interpretation   A. "Before Completion" This would be a time to somewhat pull back – be not overconfident to the extent of overindulging during the celebration of a hoped for, or projected, positive outcome
