Hexagram Fifty Your symbol is Hexagram number 50, abundance shown as an iron cauldron that provides sustenance to a family. The cauldron can be compared to an ideal government, society or association that provides abundance to its members. The first line, yin, shows that the cauldron has been overturned so that its foul contents spill out. Good fortune can come of a bad situation once the evil elements have been purged. The second line, yang, shows the cauldron filled with things to be cooked. Although some may be jealous or antagonistic, have firm confidence that they can cause no harm. The third line, yang, shows that the handles of the cauldron have been altered. This small inconsistency prevents anyone from enjoying the stew in the cauldron. With patience the situation will come around and everyone will learn a valuable lesson. The fourth line, yang, shows a more serious calamity: the feet of the cauldron have broken and its contents spilled. There is no food to offer to the ruler and the cook is deeply embarrassed. This is unfortunate. The fifth line, yin, shows a cauldron with new golden handles. Through hard work and determination the situation is made right. The sixth line, yang, shows a cauldron with jade handles. There will be great good fortunate in any action. 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.
