Hexagram Forty-three
Your symbol is Hexagram number 43, removing impurities. The example is given a weak-minded or corrupt statesman on trial. In this case, the prosecutor's own good character wins over the judge.
The first line, yang, shows a prosecutor trying to advance his/her case simply by movement of the toes. This is not enough effort and there will be misfortune.
The second line, yang, shows the prosecutor fearful and sincerely appealing for justice. This person is vulnerable, and although people may come in the night to cause problems, there is no reason to fear.
The third line, yang, shows one who tries to make a case by threatening the court. This will lead to misfortune. Another works hard to gather evidence. This person may encounter difficulty, including the ridicule of colleagues, but his/her determination will bring success.
The fourth line, yang, shows one who walks with great difficult after a flailing cuts the skin of his/her buttocks. It would be wise for this person to walk as a sheep among the herd for now, but pride will not allow him/her to listen to such advice.
The fifth line, yang, shows a prosecutor going after the criminal class as s/he would uproot a bed of weeds. This determination is appropriate and will lead to good fortune.
The sixth line, yin, shows a prosecutor who attempts a difficult project without any help. This is unfortunate and will not lead to success.
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.
