Hexagram 44

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle 

A. Hexagram forty-four is Gou, or Coupling. Variations are Coming to Meet and Meeting. Its lower trigram is Xun: ground or wind, and its upper trigram is Qian: force or heaven.      

B. The Judgment

   1. Coming to Meet. The maiden is powerful.
   2. One should not marry such a maiden.

C. The Image

  1. Under heaven, wind:
      a) The image of Coming to Meet.
      b) Thus the prince act when disseminating his commands,
           And proclaiming them to the four quarters of heaven. 

II. My interpretation 

A. "Liaison"

So close to valentine to be stuck with the idea of not trusting the fidelity of another person's love life.  A strong and non-subornative person, to touch such a person would prove wrong, in any relationship. That's what love is, an equal partnership with "The Divine" at the helm.

Although it feels like one is somewhat stuck, we need to pull ourselves forward because better days are on the way in. And as we move forward to meet upcoming days let us stay within the realms of probity possibilities and of good outcomes. Always remember most of the time you have to bow down to speak to people anyway, why not scale down to speak to the ones below your drift.

Remember, with this situational example, there is a warning about touching, especially the innocent who have not learned that and will further expound the wrong thing. To touch a person at any time is a sign of disrespect. Chi comes from the hands and Chi can be absorbed with the hands at any given time, it all depends. It's a two-way street. So, unwarranted touching could cause damage, at the checkout counter as well.

And remember that when it comes to common jesters towards the opposite end of the spectrum, always think "what would you not do?"

#44 Coupling

1. coupling

2. Meeting – Coming to meet.

“A strong and willful woman, do not embrace her.”

Do not be pondering on things that have not gone wrong. In reality there are no inevitable negative sides to sustaining up turns. Go at it as if, “Easy come easy – Go.”

Temptation is always that way – the way to trouble and willfulness. One cannot incite their own enlightenment, that would be an egotistical endearment, and ultimately pictured as entrapment. All party agreement. Short word, Consent.

"At this time marriage would be unfortunate". – credit – Blofield.

The story is, strength, Beit, male or female, it must be contained and controlled in a manner where it can be justifiably used in an ungearing and righteous way. If this is done in a timely manner, it causes positive outcomes. Just let it happen. Now the rendezvous – be aware of inappropriate behavior in all we do at this time. Do not so much be prone to meeting others, and just getting horns entangled.
