HEXAGRAM 2

​

ACCEPTANCE

KEY WORD:     BE RECEPTIVE
MESSAGE:       Gentle perseverance brings good results.

MAIN COMMENTARY

 

Hexagram 2 is passive energy. The six broken lines that comprise hexagram two represent pure yin energy emanating from the universe. The receptive earth is in harmony with the boundless universe; it embraces everything and illuminates everything in its greatness. You too should be receptive and tolerant and accept everyone and everything and not try to control things.  By not controlling situations and people you are able to see how things unfold naturally and allow yourself to be guided on the right path. 

 

Hexagram 2 is also a message about letting go of how you used to operate and being more receptive. Look around to see what is going on right now. Pay more attention to your intuition for guidance. Its to your advantage to allow a leader with more experience and knowledge to guide you in the right direction. Focus more on finding friends and partners in the south-west and letting go of friendships in  the north-east that lead nowhere.

​

The analogy of a mare is given to represent an assistant or someone in a supporting role. You can advance by being accommodating and gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Whenever you set out to undertake something on our own and try to take control and lead and you lose the way. If you follow a dominant leader or partner you find the right guidance. When friendships or situations hit an impasse and lead nowhere, it’s better to let go and seek friendships elsewhere.

 

Trust in the workings of the universe. Be receptive and tolerate everyone you have to bear with and yield to the natural development of things, instead of trying to control everything. Every time you have an objective and you set off to reach it you get off course because you try to control things. For a relationship you hit an impasse. Accept the situation and don't attempt to control matters. Let it be.

LINES ANALYSIS

 

LINE 1

Do not overlook the first signs of deterioration entering a relationship or situation. A total break down is not far off. Start preparing for the upcoming changes.

 

LINE 2

This is the ruling line and favourable. Allow things to develop at their own pace. You don’t need a preset purpose and you don’t need to do anything. It’s to your advantage to gain new skills and training from a designated manager. It will be in your favour because your natural talents can be fully put to good use. You can later connect with a leader and have good fortune.

 

LINE 3

Leave the pursuit to popularity and fame to others. Focus instead on doing a good job and being the best. Its to your advantage to conceal your skills and talents. The analogy of an intelligent and highly qualified person serving the king is given. Continue in your supporting role.Your time to shine will come.

 

LINE 4

Things are at impasse. Avoid confrontations. You need to wait it out and see how things unfold. Be cautious and shrewd. You might easily get blamed so its best to just keep a low profile hide your feelings and intentions and just go along. 

 

LINE 5

Allow your good character and good work to permeate all your affairs indirectly.  Being modest and discreet brings good fortune. People honour your noble actions. You can easily get the support you want.

 

LINE 6

Someone is being too ambitious and assertive. This excessive and erratic behaviour brings things to an end. Instead of yielding to circumstances someone is being selfish demanding and controlling. It’s a challenging situation. A power struggle  ensues between two dominant personalities. There will be injury to both parties.

 

ALL LINES 6

Be determined and you will be able to reach your goal and the new conditions will become permanent.  Hold to your vision. The more you tolerate the greater your personal power will become.
