Hexagram Two Your symbol is Hexagram two, receptivity. All the lines of this hexagram are yin and the hexagram denotes firm progress and advantage. In the first line a person who is walking on frosty ground soon finds that the ground has become sold ice. This represents the passive but strong quality of yin. The second line says that the yin attributes of honesty, intuition, inner depth, and flexibility come naturally and do not need to be learned or rehearsed. Possessing these qualities is fortunate. The third line shows the possessor of these qualities who diplomatically conceals his/her strengths until they are needed, just some rich people may conceal the depths of their wealth. Working under a benevolent authority figure, one may wish to use his/her skills to increase the reputation of the leader. The fourth line shows a closed purse or bag. The quality yin may involve restraint. Although this closes off new possibilities, it also prevents misfortune. The fifth line shows a yellow garment, which implies a humble and honorable person. This is fortunate. The sixth line shows fighting dragons, sending yellow blood to the earth and purple blood to the sky. This is the right conclusion of affairs. A final note explains that the yin qualities of honesty and steady progress will lead to great good fortune. To the reader: In all of the hexagrams, at least one of the lines may predict bad results, but that does NOT mean you are destined to get that result. The meaning is that you need to study the action-reaction to see what could go wrong. From there, focus on the positive outcomes in other lines. Study how different attitudes lead to better outcomes. Your future is in your hands. Consult the I Ching for ideas that lead to clear thinking and positive mental attitude. The I Ching teaches you to flow with changes. Create positive change from the inside through conscious living. Take the time to reflect on your attitudes and ideas.
