Good Morning H-46

Hexagram 46

By: James Byrd

I. The Oracle

A. Hexagram forty-six is called Sheng or Ascending. Another interpretation is Pushing Upward. The lower trigram is Xun: ground or wind, and the upper trigram is Kun: field or earth.

B. The Judgment

1. Pushing Upward has supreme success.
One must see the great man. Fear not.
2. Departure towards the south
Brings good fortune.

C. The Image

1. Within the earth, wood grows:
a) The image of Pushing Upward.
b) Thus the superior man of devoted character
Heaps up small things
In order to achieve something high and great.

II. My interpretation

A. "Ascending"

According to what I can understand, things have heaped-up to where there are successful outcomes as planned during the long drown out process of slowly ascending upwards. At the moment there are opportunities abound to the surprise of the one who advances onward and into what seems to reflect that of a desolate wast-land. At times things are not what they seem to be, an opportunity at the very forefront of your daily routines, but only in this instant, there is a chance to train our efforts upwards -- this should be a vertical movement, instead of moving from place to place or job to job. You should at this time move vertically not horizontal with your expressed efforts. With every sunrise, there is growth, my friend.

The situation warns that there is a chance opportunity of moving upward, and that should be done during the current situational sittings. The same notion can be seen when an Apple seed is planted and starts to push upwards from the soil. All nutrients are there in the soil, all the tree has to do accept the opportunity of growth and move naturally upwards. The plan is almost similar to that of the New York State motto: "Ever Upward." Just remember that rest is needed as you amend your business plan, to ensure that your propositional appointments are viable and correct.

Good Morning H-44

Hexagram 44

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle

A. Hexagram forty-four is Gou, or Coupling. Variations are Coming to Meet and Meeting. Its lower trigram is Xun: ground or wind, and its upper trigram is Qian: force or heaven.

B. The Judgment

1. Coming to Meet. The maiden is powerful.
2. One should not marry such a maiden.

C. The Image

1. Under heaven, wind:
a) The image of Coming to Meet.
b) Thus the prince act when disseminating his commands,
And proclaiming them to the four quarters of heaven.

II. My interpretation

A. "Liaison"

So close to valentine to be stuck with the idea of not trusting the fidelity of another person's love life. to touch such a person would prove wrong. A strong and non-subornation person in any relationship. Thet's what love is an equal partnership with one at the helm.
Although it feels like one is somewhat stuck, we need to pull ourselves forward because better days are on the way in. And as we move forward to meet upcoming days let us stay within the realms of probity possibilities and of good outcomes. Always remember most of the time you have to bow down to speak to people anyway, why not scale down to speak to people below your drift.

And remember that when it comes to common jesters towards the opposite end of the spectrum, always think "what would you not do?"

Leveraging Sychronicity in Decision Making

Good Morning H-14

Hexagram 14

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle

A. Hexagram four-teen is called Da You, or Great Possessing. Various interpretations include Possession in Great Measure or The Great Possession. The lower trigram is Qian: force or heaven, and the upper trigram is Li: radiance or fire.

B. The Judgment

1. Possession in Great Measure.
2. Supreme success.

C. The Image

1. Fire in heaven above:
a) The image of Possession in Great Measure.
b) Thus the superior man curbs evil and furthers good,
And thereby obeys the benevolent will of heaven.

II. My interpretation

A. "Great Harvest"

With this hexagram, we see a person who has overtime acquired great possessions and that is due not so much to that person’s position in life, but also it should reflect his ability to champion virtuous acts performed by others, and suppressing other acts that are not so much virtuous.

Another thing to keep in check is to not let your possessions dictate the crucial decisions that must be made in your daily life. Remain detached from your possessions, there are things to be considered as utility or common happenstance by-products, meaning the possession must match the position that that person holds in life. Such be it, a king should have an indoor pool. Not so much for a common person.

The theme now is harvest, time to pick and save our accumulating products on our overloaded wagon. Although the farmer has an expansive spread, his focus is on one tree at a time. Be not the one who wants to match his neighbor in any aspect, even grains of sands are not, more or less equal.

If one is as he should be, as it relates to the sentiments stated above, others will take heed, and rally to his aide, like unto a gift from heaven.
