Book of Changes - interpretation of hexagram No. 49

Ge. Change

In the previous situation, we met two sides of the same thing: the immobility of the well and the movement that takes place in it. This is the movement that takes place in the well itself, in other words, the movement of all the accumulated internal force, i.e. inner veracity, which was mentioned in the last position of the previous situation, here can serve as a starting point for further reasoning. Let the well not change, but its fullness does. Thus, the previous situation stands on the verge of two: in front of it we find exhaustion as a certain stop in the dynamics of forces; after it we find a change, i.e., finally, there comes a renewal of the forces that had disappeared. The very image of the hexagram is most easily deciphered from its name. If we translate it "Change", then this is far from its first meaning, because its first meaning is "skin that is shed by a snake." So, here the previous, already obsolete form must be swept aside and a new form must be found for the manifestation of the newly accumulated forces. In a sense, this is the moment of a new beginning of creativity. Therefore, the aphorism that stood first in the entire "Book of Changes" as a characteristic of the creative process is completely repeated here. Here we also have an impulse to being, its development, i.e. what is called the "original accomplishment", and its determination in it, and the enduring being of the created thing, i.e. what is meant by the words "favorable fortitude". If there were any mistakes in previous activity, then here, with a repeated and new act of creativity, all previous mistakes are extinguished, because everything is created anew. In this sense, there can be no repentance in the past, here it cannot come. But all this can be carried out correctly by a person only if until the last day he retains in himself that inner truth, indicating which the aphorisms of the previous situation ended. These thoughts are expressed in the following aphorism of the text:

Change.
[If until] the last day you are [full of] truth,
[that will be] the original fulfillment and auspicious fortitude.
Repentance will disappear.

1. The text of this aphorism is built on the play on words that we indicated above. It is, of course, about change, but it is expressed with the help of the image of the skin. If here we are talking about the strengthening of the forces acquired at the previous stage, then they must be strengthened precisely by the very fact of the change, in a play on words (not translated into Russian) - with the help of skin. But, since the first position does not yet reveal all those forces that are characteristic of the lower trigram of Li and which find their expression only in the second position, the second position is indicated here by the image that we have repeatedly analyzed - the image of yellow. The fact that it belongs to the second position is also emphasized by the fact that the weak second feature is expressed in the image of a cow. In this sense, the aphorism can be understood, which, without comments, our reader could only cause a smile:

Strong in the beginning.
To strengthen, change the skin of a yellow cow.

2. The second position, representing the internal expression of the qualities of the whole situation, is a kind of maximum preparation for external activity, but it is not the activity itself outside. Therefore, it is mentioned here what should come after the end of the day, i.e. points to the truth that, in a given situation, should accompany a person until the end of days. But if this quality is present, then further movement can only be happy. That's why the text says:

Weak trait in second [place].
[Only after] the end of the day [make] a shift.
Hike - fortunately.
There will be no bullshit.

3. After a period of exhaustion of all forces and only their internal accumulation, their presence in a person may not yet be revealed externally, and therefore it is unlikely that the surrounding people can have a reason to treat the presence of these forces with confidence, i.e. inner truth. In the first two positions, people will not be able to recognize the presence of these forces accumulated in the previous situation. Only in the third position, as the "Book of Changes" says, only after the speech touches on the change three times, i.e. updates, a known trust can be achieved. It goes without saying that such a position of a person, when, after long speeches, he can gain confidence in himself, he himself can experience it as a difficult situation, and in such a state of depression he would hardly be able to act favorably. So the text here says:

Strong trait in third [place].
<3>In the shift, speech will touch [her] three times, and only then will there be trust in her.
<1>Hike - unfortunately.
<2>Durability is terrible.

4. Everything that has developed as a result of previous actions is a predetermined fate that acts like a kind of immutable law, but its immutability is only relative, because sooner or later the time comes for active intervention, if not in one’s past, then in one’s future, and thanks to it man reaches the opportunity to remake his destiny. Of course, for this he must truly possess great personal strength. He must recast his fate. And the image of remelting, which is mentioned here, is explained by the commentators by the fact that the upper trigram, which we enter into in this situation, the Dui trigram, symbolizes the metal under which the Li trigram operates - fire. Through this recasting and reshaping of one's own future destiny, all repentance for the wrong deeds of the past falls away. That is why we read in the text:

Strong trait in fourth [place].
<2>Owning the truth, you will change fate.
<3>Happiness.
<1>Repentance will disappear.

5. With the maximum detection of a change in the fifth position, the "Book of Changes" indicates an image that is mobile and strong in its outward activity, an image of a tiger that is constantly moving. But this is only an image, because in essence we are talking about a person full of great inner forces, which for him in all his activities are as convincing as they are convincing for the people around him, so that he can proceed from them in all his activities and do not wait for any predictions, instructions from outside, etc. That's why the text here says:

Strong trait in the fifth [place].
A great man is mobile, [like] a tiger.
And before divination [he already] owns the truth.

6. The overdevelopment of variability and mobility leads only to external confirmation of change. Essentially, the change has already been achieved, and it is only by inertia that the most external thing in it continues to act. If at the maximum detection of the shift it was about the mobility of the tiger, then here an animal similar to a tiger, but devoid of its power, was chosen. Here we are only talking about the mobility of the leopard, but even this, being still movement, the possibility of change, can only be inherent in an internally developed person. A person who is not ethically developed, insignificant, is capable only of a purely external confirmation of the change. He can change no more than "the expression on his face." If he proposed to come out without actually showing himself in any way, then such a statement would only lead to misfortune. It is better for him to remain what he is and work on a genuine change in his quality. As a result, the text says:

Above is a weak feature.
A noble person is mobile, [like] a leopard.
An insignificant person's face changes.
Hike - unfortunately.
Persistent stay in place - fortunately.

Everything around you is in motion right now, everything is changing, but in the end, good results will exceed even your wildest expectations. At the moment you do not feel confident in yourself, but soon it will return to you again with new perspectives, circumstances will change for the better. You will change your recent plans and go where you never planned before. In the game, you are now lucky.

In the previous situation, we met two sides of the same thing: the immobility of the well and the movement that takes place in it. This is the movement that takes place in the well itself, in other words, the movement of all the accumulated internal force, i.e. inner veracity, which was mentioned in the last position of the previous situation, here can serve as a starting point for further reasoning. Let the well not change, but its fullness does change.

Thus, the previous situation stands on the verge of two: in front of it we find exhaustion as a certain stop in the dynamics of forces; after it we find the change, i.e. finally comes the renewal of the forces that had disappeared. The very image of the hexagram is most easily deciphered from its name. If we translate it as Change, then this is far from its first meaning, for its first meaning is the skin that is shed by the snake.

So, here the previous, already obsolete form must be canceled and a new form must be found for the manifestation of the newly accumulated forces. In a certain sense, here is the moment of a new beginning of creativity. Therefore, the aphorism that stood first in the entire "Book of Changes" as a characteristic of the creative process is completely repeated here. Here we also have an impulse to being, its development, i.e. what is called the "original accomplishment", and its determination in it, and the enduring being of the created thing, i.e. what is meant by the words "favorable fortitude".

If there were any mistakes in the previous activity, then here, with a repeated and new act of creativity, all previous mistakes are extinguished, because everything is created anew. In this sense, there can be no remorse for the past; here it cannot come. But all this can be carried out correctly by a person only if until the last day he retains in himself that inner truth, indicating which the aphorisms of the previous situation ended. These thoughts are expressed in the following aphorism of the text:

Change. If you are full of truth until the last day, then there will be an initial fulfillment and favorable steadfastness. Repentance will disappear.

The fact that it belongs to the second position is also emphasized by the fact that the weak second feature is expressed in the image of a cow. In this sense, the aphorism can be understood, which, without comments, our reader could only cause a smile:

Strong in the beginning. To strengthen, apply the skin of a yellow cow.

The second position, representing the internal expression of the qualities of the whole situation, is a kind of maximum preparation for external activity, but this is not the activity itself outside. Therefore, it is mentioned here what should come at the end of the day, i.e. points to the truth that during this situation should accompany a person until the end of days. But if this quality is present, then further movement can only be happy. That's why the text says here:

Weak trait in second place. Only change at the end of the day. There will be no bullshit.

After a period of exhaustion of all forces and only internal accumulation, their presence in a person may not yet be revealed externally, and therefore it is unlikely that the surrounding people can have a reason to treat the presence of these forces with confidence, i.e. inner truth.

It goes without saying that such a position of a person, when, after long speeches, he can gain confidence in himself, he himself can experience it as a difficult situation, and in such a state of depression he would hardly be able to act favorably. So the text here says:

Strong feature in third place. In the shift, speech will touch her three times, and only then will she be trusted. Walking is unfortunate. Durability is terrible.

Everything that has developed as a result of previous actions is a predetermined fate that acts like a kind of immutable law, but its immutability is only relative, because sooner or later the time comes for active intervention, if not in one’s past, then in one’s future, and thanks to to him man reaches the opportunity to remake his fate.

Of course, for this he must truly possess great personal strength. He must recast his fate. And the image of remelting, which is mentioned here, is explained by the commentators by the fact that the upper trigram, which we enter into in this situation, the trigram dui, symbolizes the metal under which the trigram li, fire, operates. Through this recasting and reshaping of one's own future destiny, all repentance for the wrong deeds of the past falls away. That is why we read in the text:

Strong feature in fourth place. Owning the truth, you will change fate. Happiness. Repentance will disappear.

With the maximum detection of a change in the fifth position, the “Book of Changes” indicates an image that is mobile and strong in its outward activity, an image of a tiger that is constantly moving. But this is only an image, because in essence we are talking about a person full of great inner forces, which for him in all his activities are as convincing as they are convincing for the people around him, so that he can proceed from them in all his activities and do not wait for any predictions, instructions from outside, etc. That's why the text here says:

If at the maximum detection of the shift it was about the mobility of the tiger, then here an animal similar to a tiger, but devoid of its power, was chosen.

Here we are only talking about the mobility of the leopard, but it, being, nevertheless, movement, the possibility of change, can only be inherent in an internally developed person. A person who is not ethically developed, insignificant, is capable only of a purely external confirmation of the change. He can change no more than "the expression on his face." If he proposed to come out without actually showing himself in any way, then such a statement would only lead to misfortune. It is better for him to remain what he is and work on a genuine change in his quality. As a consequence, the text says here:

Above is a weak feature. A noble person is as mobile as a leopard. An insignificant person's face changes. Walking is unfortunate. Persistent stay in place - fortunately.

Do I want such a radical transformation?

Description of external and hidden hexagrams

in the manifested world.
From the depths of a transparent lake, precious ingots of gold shine in the sun. Already now in life a valuable treasure has been manifested, obtained by a joyful accomplishment.
In the bowels of the earth, right under the lake, fiery lava boils. At the same time, very big emotions are locked up on the inner plane.
Clubs of steam, ash and smoke - this is a powerful underground fire coming out of the bowels of the earth to the surface. Internal dissent and protest begin to appear in the world of events.
Fiery lava will illuminate everything around, turn the lake into steam, melt precious gold bars. Previous achievements will drown in the fire of passions and emotions. Complete clarity and great cohesion with ongoing events will come (properties of fire).

On the SUBCONSCIOUS vibration is similar, only much more powerful.
The bottomless endless blue sky filled everything. Even now the subconscious plane is filled with the Highest, most beautiful vibrations.
Under the sky, small tree seeds sprouted in the ground. In the depths of the subconscious, seeds of doubt and disagreement with the Highest were born.
The growth strives for the light and penetrates with thin branches directly into the blue sky, and with its roots goes deep into the earth. Disagreements and doubts based on real facts and spiritual quests are intensifying.
Where yesterday there was an endless blue sky, today a powerful forest rustles its leaves in the wind. The higher will be pushed into the background by the concept of what true love and true God should be. Everything will plunge into the hustle and bustle of life.

General interpretation of hexagram No. 49

In the manifested reality, the fire of emotions and passions flares up. If you leave everything as it is, then the emotional fire will destroy all previous achievements. CATEGORY FOR CHANGE.

In the subconscious, everything is greatly aggravated. Even now the Higher is manifested to the maximum. Maximum in the sense that the situation is not able to accommodate more at the moment. Daily worries and anxieties, disagreement with ongoing events will force the Higher out of the subconscious, if there are no significant CHANGES. CATEGORY FOR CHANGE.

Both in the manifested reality and in the subconscious, the natural course of events replaces the Higher with great emotions (the world of events) and worldly fuss (the subconscious plane). It is worth stopping this flow, or even better, turn it in the opposite direction. This cannot be done without fundamental changes. CATEGORY FOR CHANGE. The accumulated inner divine potential requires appropriate changes in the world of events. Without cardinal changes, it is impossible to keep the Higher vibrations that the person who received this hexagram has right now. Perhaps the best thing to do is to start over with a clean slate, radically changing your core values ​​and guidelines. Favorable perseverance in achieving change. In this regard, condemnation, indignation, rejection is a short way to remove the Higher vibrations of love from the situation and from life in general.

__________________________________________________________

MULTI-DIMENSIONALITY
(OPPOSITE VIBRATION OF HEXAGRAM #49)

It means acceptance without doubt and protest of any events, including misfortunes, illness and even death of your loved ones and yourself. This is practically impossible for a mortal man who has the instincts of self-preservation. Therefore, there will always be situations that give rise to doubts and disagreement with the natural course of life. These doubts and protests will force out Love, the Highest from consciousness and subconsciousness so that over time it will be required CATEGORICAL CHANGE for achievement HARMONY WITH THE WORLD.

Explanation of the hexagram

full explanation of the 49th hexagram → Ge: Change

Explanation of each trait

explanation of the features of the hexagram from bottom to top

In the previous situation, we met two sides of the same thing: the immobility of the well and the movement that takes place in it. This is the movement that takes place in the well itself, in other words, the movement of all the accumulated internal force, i.e. inner veracity, which was mentioned in the last position of the previous situation, here can serve as a starting point for further reasoning. Let the well not change, but its fullness does change. Thus, the previous situation stands on the verge of two: in front of it we find exhaustion as a certain stop in the dynamics of forces; after it we find the change, i.e. finally comes the renewal of the forces that had disappeared. The very image of the hexagram is most easily deciphered from its name. If we translate it as Change, then this is far from its first meaning, because its first meaning is the skin that is shed by the snake. So, here the previous, already obsolete form must be canceled and a new form must be found for the manifestation of the newly accumulated forces. In a certain sense, here is the moment of a new beginning of creativity. Therefore, the aphorism that stood first in the entire "Book of Changes" as a characteristic of the creative process is completely repeated here. Here we also have an impulse to being, its development, i.e. what is called the "original accomplishment", and its determination in it, and the enduring being of the created thing, i.e. what is meant by the words "favorable fortitude". If there were any mistakes in the previous activity, then here, with a repeated and new act of creativity, all previous mistakes are extinguished, because everything is created anew. In this sense, there can be no remorse for the past; here it cannot come. But all this can be carried out correctly by a person only if until the last day he retains in himself that inner truth, indicating which the aphorisms of the previous situation ended. These thoughts are expressed in the following aphorism of the text: Change. If you are full of truth until the last day, then there will be an initial fulfillment and favorable steadfastness. Repentance will disappear.

The text of this aphorism is built on the play on words that we indicated above. It is, of course, about change, but it is expressed with the help of the image of the skin. If here we are talking about the strengthening of the forces acquired at the previous stage, then they must be strengthened precisely by the very fact of the change, in a play on words (not translated into Russian) - with the help of skin. But since the first position does not yet reveal all those forces that are characteristic in the lower trigram and which find their expression only in the second position, the second position is indicated here by the image that we have repeatedly analyzed - the image of yellow. The fact that it belongs to the second position is also emphasized by the fact that the weak second feature is expressed in the image of a cow. In this sense, the aphorism can be understood, which, without comments, our reader could only cause a smile: In the beginning, a strong trait. To strengthen, apply the skin of a yellow cow.

The second position, representing the internal expression of the qualities of the whole situation, is a kind of maximum preparation for external activity, but this is not the activity itself outside. Therefore, it is mentioned here what should come at the end of the day, i.e. points to the truth that during this situation should accompany a person until the end of days. But if this quality is present, then further movement can only be happy. That's why the text says here: Weak trait in second place. Only change at the end of the day. There will be no bullshit.

After a period of exhaustion of all forces and only internal accumulation, their presence in a person may not yet be revealed externally, and therefore it is unlikely that the surrounding people can have a reason to treat the presence of these forces with confidence, i.e. inner truth. In the first two positions, people will not be able to recognize the presence of these forces accumulated in the previous situation. Only in the third position, as the "Book of Changes" says, only after the change has been touched three times, i.e. updates, a known trust can be achieved. It goes without saying that such a position of a person, when, after long speeches, he can gain confidence in himself, he himself can experience it as a difficult situation, and in such a state of depression he would hardly be able to act favorably. That's why the text here says: Strong trait in third place. In the shift, speech will touch her three times, and only then will she be trusted. Hike - unfortunately. Durability is terrible.

Everything that has developed as a result of previous actions is a predetermined fate that acts like a kind of immutable law, but its immutability is only relative, because sooner or later the time comes for active intervention, if not in one’s past, then in one’s future, and thanks to to him man reaches the opportunity to remake his fate. Of course, for this he must truly possess great personal strength. He must recast his fate. And the image of remelting, which is mentioned here, is explained by the commentators by the fact that the upper trigram, which we enter into in this situation, the trigram dui, symbolizes the metal under which the trigram Li - fire operates. Through this recasting and reshaping of one's own future destiny, all repentance for the wrong deeds of the past falls away. That's why in the text we read: Strong trait in fourth place. Owning the truth, you will change fate. Happiness. Repentance will disappear.

With the maximum detection of a change in the fifth position, the "Book of Changes" indicates an image that is mobile and strong in its outward activity, an image of a tiger that is constantly moving. But this is only an image, because in essence we are talking about a person full of great inner forces, which for him in all his activities are as convincing as they are convincing for the people around him, so that he can proceed from them in all his activities and do not wait for any predictions, instructions from outside, etc. That's why the text here says: Strong trait in fifth place. A great man is mobile like a tiger. And before divination, he already owns the truth.

The overdevelopment of variability and mobility leads only to external confirmation of change. In essence, the change has already been achieved, and it is only by inertia that the most external thing in it continues to act. If at the maximum detection of the shift it was about the mobility of the tiger, then here an animal similar to a tiger, but devoid of its power, was chosen. Here we are only talking about the mobility of the leopard, but it, being, nevertheless, movement, the possibility of change, can only be inherent in an internally developed person. A person who is not ethically developed, insignificant, is capable only of a purely external confirmation of the change. He can change no more than "the expression on his face." If he proposed to come out without actually showing himself in any way, then such a statement would only lead to misfortune. It is better for him to remain what he is and work on a genuine change in his quality. As a result, the text says here: Above is a weak feature. A noble person is as mobile as a leopard. An insignificant person's face changes. Hike - unfortunately. Persistent stay is not the place - fortunately.

With all the external immobility of the external image - the well - inside the source of life, the accumulated internal forces, the truthfulness of man, seethed.

Hexagram 49 is the interpretation of the change in the water in the well, the adjustment of its fullness, or simply the dynamics of human energy that has come from exhaustion to renewal. According to the Chinese book, “Change” is not the first meaning of the sign, since there is an important image of the shed skin of a snake, referring to the abolition of obsolete forms.

Hexagram 49 Ge, Change (Transformation).

• DUY (POD) FROM ABOVE. CONDUCTIVITY. YOUNGER DAUGHTER. WEST. MOUTH.
• LEE (FIRE) FROM BELOW. CLARITY. MIDDLE DAUGHTER. SOUTH. EYE.

If until the last day you are full of truth, then there will be an initial accomplishment, steadfastness is favorable. Repentance will disappear.

The manifestation of new forces according to the hexagram is nothing but the starting moment of creativity. As at the beginning of the Yijing, one encounters the characteristics of creative impulse, primordial accomplishment, and auspicious fortitude. The decoding of the sign says that the previous activity was carried out with errors, and the repeated creative act is designed to correct all the shortcomings. But there should be no remorse for past experiences. The main thing in the current activity is the preservation of the inner truth.

The symbol is represented in the external environment by the trigram of Permission, and in the inner world by the trigram of Clarity. This is a very balanced combination of Yang and Yin, hence the success of the process of changing something. Therefore, fortune-telling with such a sign promises positive changes and rearrangements that will help you believe in yourself and see new horizons. Even in gambling there comes a streak of luck.

Hexagram 49, Ge, Change indicates that a serious stage of life associated with upheavals has sunk into the past, so now, despite all the updates, a stage of stability is coming. Now you can follow the call of your own heart, make new acquaintances and agree to any travel. You can change already stagnant plans and do business from scratch.

Characteristics of Yao according to Zhou Gong

• Nine first. The current life situation can be called special, and it requires special measures. It is impossible to succumb to routine and relaxation without a desire to improve such a pastime. Major changes now seem like an unjustified risk and danger, so it's best to wait for the right moment.
• Six second. On the appointed day, a revolution will take place. As long as circumstances are favorable, work can begin. A person has a developed talent and ability to observe. If you can’t create harmony, you can break off the relationship.
• third nine. Now sheer persistence leads to failure, because it takes three more attempts to start a conversation about the revolution. Yijing, the book of changes, the interpretation of this position connects with the need to move forward despite the difficulties. Remember that envy grows very deep in the soul.
• Nine fourth. A change of government will lead to success. Objective criticism will be supported, and the right people will come to the positions. Try to weigh all the strengths and skills before action. Talent always has the opportunity to show itself, even if there are obstacles.
• Fifth Nine. Time itself calls for great people. Do not forget that brave people cannot have cowardly sons. Support your manager in dealing with bad employees if you know what to do.
• Six on top. Low people change only their appearance. Now you do not need to take on large-scale projects, but fortitude can lead to success. Remember that after a rainstorm, the skies clear up. Combining small resources allows you to do big things. The morals of the environment should be improved gradually.

Detailed meaning of the hexagram

1. The pictogram that tells about the change also refers to the image of the skin. It is with its help that you need to strengthen the previously received forces. So far, the situation has not reached the proper development, so that a person does not have enough faith in himself for radical changes. You need to move at a slow pace, be patient and take care of other people first.
2. Intensive preparation for the future activities of change begins. A person must adhere to his own truth, and then he can move without barriers. According to the book of changes, it is also favorable now to use the help of the calendar and choose the right day (with Yin energy) for changes.
3. Since the forces were exhausted for a long time and accumulated in the person himself, the people around him are not sure that they exist at all, and therefore they do not take the inner truthfulness of the individual seriously. But now the immediate process of change begins, so that the confidence of the outside world increases. A person's long speeches have had an effect, but he can take it very hard and even become depressed.
4. Fate was predetermined before this position, but now you can safely be active and interfere in your future, if you have enough strength for this. You need to melt your own life in order to come to happiness and not repent.
5. A person is full of great strength and therefore convincing in his own eyes as well as in the eyes of others. The Chinese Book of Changes connects the meaning of the fifth line with the image of a mobile powerful tiger. Now you can no longer wait for predictions or advice from the outside, since the individual has mastered the truth.
6. A re-development begins in the mobility of a person, and this indicates that the change itself has already occurred, and everything else is an inert external action. Now the image of a leopard appears, which is very fast, but not so strong. Now the inner development of the personality is required, because insignificance will not allow to manifest itself, but will lead to unhappy deeds. It is best to stay in the current position and work on reworking the internal qualities.

Extended interpretation of the sign

The multidimensional meaning of the pictogram comes down to the transformations of the person himself and his way of life. Now we need to boldly change everything that led to the previous crisis. A person has everything for decisive accomplishments: creative energy, excitement, passion, desire, enthusiasm. No doubts and fears can interfere at this stage.

Changes should concern not only the inner world of a person. You can think about how to change the appearance, correcting the figure, hairstyle and even manners. Just don't demand from the outside world that it provides the means to change urgently. Look for a compromise with your environment and convince people with dignity and tact that your desires are not a temporary whim. You can also convince others that they, too, need to change.

Now you can get a whole crowd of allies and like-minded people, because your positive changes become an example and motivation for people. As the book of changes shows, hexagram 49, the interpretation of which is very happy and successful, requires a person to shed his former snake skin. This means that it is necessary to reject previous achievements and forget about past losses. Do not be afraid of drastic changes in the nature of events, because you are ready for this.

At this stage, you can make the same mistakes that were made in the past. This is permissible, because the person himself has changed, and he will be able to derive a completely new experience from his miscalculations. The main thing is not to let life stagnate again. If the relationship becomes frozen, the person gets bored, so be creative and proactive in your communication. Try to combine old acquaintances with new meetings.

A full study of the sign says that in the business sphere, preference should be given to already established goals. Indeed, in the work there is no point in changing tasks dramatically, you just need to use a different toolkit. Do not let yourself drown in the abyss of sadness, become an optimist. As for the fulfillment of a dream, it will be necessary to wait quite a bit and, perhaps, sacrifice future plans.

Interpretation of the sign by Wen-wang

2. Fear holds down actions, but sooner or later you need to move from words to deeds. If you are not doing what you want, just drop it and change your destiny.
3. Bad habits are very hard to get rid of, and failures make you suffer and feel overwhelmed. But if circumstances favor you, try again and start life from scratch.
4. The pictogram is February, therefore, according to the book of Yijing, it is useful in winter, but unfavorable in autumn or spring.

How to interpret a symbol when divining

In such conditions, it is necessary to become a pioneer in terms of unexpected changes and not be afraid to step on an unknown road. Only courage and a thirst for change will allow you to survive this stage without sudden changes in fate.
