Hexagram Forty-six Your symbol is Hexagram number 46, gaining social stature. When a worthy person is promoted to the highest position of honor there will be good fortune. The position allows this person to associate with others in similar, high stations. The first line, yin, shows who is welcome in higher circles. This is fortunate. The second line, yang, shows a sincere person who makes offerings that are accepted in sacrifice. This is the correct course of action. The third line, yang, shows one rising into an empty city. This means there will be no opposition. The fourth line, yin, shows that the king asks you to present offerings on the high mountain. This act is carried out successfully and there is good fortune. The fifth line, yin, shows its subject walking up the royal stairs. This signifies successful completion of a project. The sixth line, yin, shows one who walks up the stairs, but unable to see the path. Sudden, dizzying fortune can blind one to possible consequences. The situation can be saved if the person maintains constant vigilance. 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.
