Hexagram 64

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle 

A. Hexagram 64 is named Wei Ji, or Not Yet Fording. 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.

For the time being no outward plan or goal is workable. Just ready yourself with inward goals, such as with meditation on positive outcomes, and other such things as Qi Gong – jogging, a not so random walk, but try not to get your head wet during your excursions at the local pub, no drinking Sir. Show restraints, for now, don’t even, go there, save it for the next big party that is now pending.

The same can be said about a rainy day; keep your trips – short if none at all – listen to statistics, something will almost, or an accident will more than likely happen on these types of days. And remember, there is always one near the end of every celebration, a rainy day, that is.

"This hexagram describes your situation in terms of being on the edge of an important change of situation. It emphasizes that waiting and accumulating energy to begin the upcoming move is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told to: not-yet ford the stream of events!"

Good morning, H-19 Approach

---

Hexagram 19

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle 

A. Hexagram 19 is called Lin, or Nearing. Other variations are Approach and The Forest. The lower trigram is Dui: open, swamp or forest. The upper trigram is Kun: field or earth.      

B. The Judgment

   1. Approach has supreme success.
       Perseverance furthers.
   2. When the eighth month comes,
       There will be misfortune.  

C. The Image

  1. The earth above the lake:
      The image of Approach.
  2. Thus the superior man is inexhaustible
      In his will to teach,
      And without limits
      In his tolerance and protection of the people.   

II. Another interpretation 

A. "Approach"

For now, the idea of this hexagram tends to move towards a leader who for now should not use force to meet his objectives, and better yet, he should use persuasion as a way of reasoning with people. The use of force at this time would be very counterproductive. 

Also, we must remember that for not all is well, but the ebb and flow of time dictate that sometimes worse times do occur as a counterbalance next to good, and we are talking around the lunar month of September. Take the good with the bad, but still make way and have a contingency plan. Above all, be truthful to your students. Let humility be your tool to soften the heart of the student, use empathy.
