Hexagram Eight
Your symbol is Hexagram eight, which discusses the accord between members of a family, state, or society. If all signs indicate that the leader is virtuous and worthy, people will respect that leader. Those who remain skeptical are unlucky because they will lose their way.
The first line, yin, shows one whose heart is a vessel filled with sincerity. Accord with such a person brings good fortune, so it is wise to go out of one's way to encourage harmony.
The second line, yin, shows that true harmony with external forces must begin within. Such a fortunate person maintains an attitude of honesty, sincerity, and straight forwardness.
The third line, yin, shows that it is useless to strike an accord with someone who has evil objectives. Show tolerance, but don't accept such a person into confidence.
The fourth line, yin, says that it is wise to seek accord with those who are in a more advanced state of knowledge or consciousness.
The fifth line, yang, shows a king chasing game in three directions, but because the townspeople understand he is hunting, they do not become alarmed. Make intentions clear so people do not become wary when you act. This will bring balance.
The sixth line, yin, says that harmony alone is not enough. There must be forward movement or nothing is accomplished.
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.
