Hexagram Twenty
Your symbol is Hexagram 20, reverence, represented by one who is purified and ready to make sacred offerings. This is the proper mood to bring about good results while waiting for events to unfold.
The first line, yin, shows a child who observes events innocently. This is fine for a while, but an adult must have a plan of action.
The second line, yin, shows one who coyly looks upon a situation. This is fine for a docile female, but the time has come to be strong.
The third line, yin, shows an introspective person contemplating the events of his/her life. This is good because s/he will know how to take action when the time comes.
The fourth line, yin, shows one who contemplates the results s/he wishes to receive. It is encouraging to concentrate on one's goal.
The fifth line, yang, shows a mature person contemplating his/her mission in life. Always take the welfare of others into consideration when you contemplate your own purpose.
The sixth line, yang, shows a mature person contemplating his/her own character. Such a person is advanced beyond his/her own perception and will do good work for others.
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.
