Hexagram 58

By: James Byrd

I.The Oracle

A. Hexagram fifty-eight is Dui, or Open. Further interpretations are The Joyous, Lake and Usurpation. Its lower and upper trigrams are also identical, being Dui: open, swamp or forest.

B. The Judgment

1. The Joyous. Success.
2. Perseverance is favorable.

C. The Image

1. Lakes resting one on the other:
a) The image of The Joyous.
b) Thus the superior man joins with his friends
For discussion and practice.

II. My interpretation

Joyously having fun is the tune to accord with now. Amongst these celebrations there abides much talking to the excess of misunderstood clamor. Talking to the tail of an arrow our words must at this time do so as such ---target; "Stright talk."

Don't push the downtrodden too far, because the compound effect of those past malignant demands will be mistakenly credited to your account as well, for no reason. Be straight honesty, then move on with the process of being joyous but, keep the busybody clamor down for the moment.

With this hexagram, we can see gladness to the extent that the crowd follows the lead of the spokesperson to the tune of a buffalo stampede type endeavor. All this is due to the deep interactions between the friends as they might set and examine the deep-held secrets within that particular group norm. This builds a sense of noncompetitiveness within that group, the atmosphere is somewhat pleasant.

In sadness, the group will hold the same sentiment as when there are times of pleasure. Such is when the team, wins there is joy within that moment, but when the team loses, there is much talk about reconciliation. Same as when there are times of bereavement all involved or as a collective membership will be affected by that event, and naturally If in any case there is talk in that direction let that talk be short, gentle, sincere and honest –straight to the fact and not beat around the bush. Too much talk leads to trouble, folks.

Pleasure is sometimes due, but know your personal limits, such as marching to the tune of the drummer, let’s not forget the drummer at some point has to rest, or else the group will be out of step.

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?"
