Hexagram Twenty-six Your symbol is Hexagram 26, shows a wise person accumulating reserves. During this period it is wise to gather and concentrate one's energies, since this is a period of preparation. The first line, yang, shows that the situation is troubling, even dangerous. It is wise to step back, rather than go forward into the storm. The second line, yang, shows a carriage broken down. The person within has caused no error, but the situation is dangerous. The third line, yang, shows a warrior with strong, reliable horses. Realizing his position of danger, the warrior trains the horses daily and learns the skills needed to overcome the threat. The fourth line, yin, shows a young bull with a wooden harness over his horns. This precaution to keep the bull from goring will bring good fortune. The fifth line, yin, gives the analogy of a gelded boar. Because the boar has been castrated it is not dangerous. Through restraint there will be good fortune. The sixth line, yang, shows its subject entering the gates of heaven. The subject has accumulated virtue to an extreme degree, and is ready to move forward on his/her project. 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.
