The Situation

2. K'un - The Receptive
Above (in front): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

The Receptive brings about sublime success,
Furthering through the perseverance of a mare.
If the superior man undertakes something and tries to lead,
He goes astray;
But if he follows, he finds guidance.
It is favorable to find friends in the west and south,
To forego friends in the east and north.
Quiet perseverance brings good fortune.


The Image for the Current Situation

The earth's condition is receptive devotion.
Thus the superior man who has breadth of character
Carries the outer world.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 3: Hidden lines.
One is able to remain persevering.
If by chance you are in the service of a king,
Seek not works, but bring to completion.


The Future

15. Ch'ien - Modesty
Above (in front): Kên - Keeping Still (Mountain)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)


The Judgement for the Future

Modesty creates success.
The superior man carries things through.


The Image for the Future

Within the earth, a mountain:
The image of Modesty.
Thus the superior man reduces that which is too much,
And augments that which is too little.
He weighs things and makes them equal.
