Hexagram 26

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle

A. Hexagram 26 is Da Chu or Great Accumulating. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with all that stuff accumulating in your garage! Various interpretations also include The Taming Power of the Great and Great Storage. The lower trigram is Qian: force or heaven. The upper trigram is Gen: bound or mountain.

B. The Judgment

1. The Taming Power of the Great.
Perseverance furthers.
2. Not eating at home brings good fortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water.

C. The Image

1. Heaven within the mountain:
The image of The Taming Power of the Great.
2. Thus the superior man acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity
And many deeds of the past,
In order to strengthen his character thereby.

II. My interpretation

A. "Great Accumulating"

Good Morning H-9

I.The oracle

A. Hexagram nine has more to do with the Superior man refining the outward aspect of his nature. Another variation is the idea of leaving the way of Tao and returning to it with loyal credence, in short, stay with what you know deep down in your being as right action: returning is good but try at best to be, and here comes my favorite word, "Consistent." "Be Consistent."

1. You may stray from The Way, if you stop along the way, you should always find your way back, and this is all due to loyalty and understanding of The Way.
2. Know that Success comes with being a strategic decision-maker, know which way to go? We see clouds coming from the west, will there be rain? Don't be capricious, trust your perception.

B. The Image

1. Wind above, Heaven below
a) The image of The Taming Power of the Small
b) Thus with this, we see an impending storm, do not forestall your position of staying on the path of Tao.

II. My interpretation

A. The main understanding with Hexagram 9 is, one must stay on the way, refining one’s integrity and basic beliefs. Stay with your first thought about various conflicts, the same can be said about clouds gathering in the western sky and moving towards your direction. First though, the expectation of rain, with this image you should withdraw and seek shelter soon. But please return to The Way.

1. The full moon draws near, attracts danger for a woman, misfortune for a gentleman, but don’t you get carried away by these times. Remember, there is value in small accumulations before the storm, but try not to enrich yourself at your neighbor’s expense. Again, don't change your mind, stay on the Path.

Hexagram 22

By James Byrd

I.The Oracle

A. Hexagram 22 is Bi or Adorning. Further variations include Grace and Luzxuriance. The lower trigram is Li: radiance or fire, and the upper trigram is Gen: bound or mountain.

B. The Judgment

1. Grace has success.
2. In small matters
It is favorable to undertake something.

C. The Image

1. Fire at the foot of the mountain:
The image of Grace.
2. Thus the superior man proceeds
When clearing up current affairs.
But he dare not decide controversial issues in this way.

II. My interpretation

A. "Luxuriance"

“The orator, he has the ear of the people provided, content, the end goal, behavioral temperaments, within a range of days/years are consistent with the image the orator wants to project.”
