13 – fellowship with men

Our mental clarity, our ability to differentiate between important and unimportant, is the pivotal point of this hexagram. Our clarity allows us to analyze a situation and the various aspects it comprises: What are my options in this situation? Which of these options should I choose to achieve best results? What or who will help me, give me strength, promote my growth? What aspects of this situation are blocking me or lead me to a dead end in the long term? Sometimes it is enough to have just mental clarity. Sometimes, however, we must take action for the situation to develop and to gain momentum.

30 – the clinging

Is it good for me – or is harmful? How can I find out? The easiest method is probably: to try it out. But before marching off we should carefully examine the whole situation. Nothing is ever so new to us that we have no prior experience at all. What do we already know? What is the situation’s background? Well-being? Stomach ache?

31 – influence

And now a short recipe for… happiness! 1. Briefly take stock and examine what may be an unnecessary burden, blocking your forces and as a result weakening. Let go all of it! 2. This releases new energies are and off you go…. Without any active involvement from your side, something starts happening: unstoppably, relentlessly, pushing out from your own core. Like a caterpillar inside the cocoon turning into a butterfly, invisibly following its own perfect pathway.

56 – the wanderer

Questions on Hexagram 56

I have received the following questions regarding hexagram 56 – the wanderer:

  • The user’s question is: “What I can do to enjoy my life more?” She describes her general situation as follows: “I cannot bear disharmony with other people, it paralyzes my life force and makes me feel deeply depressed. At the same time I feel guilty and responsible for the situation. That’s why I’m always the one who takes the first step after disharmony, a pattern I’ve been following since childhood. I would really like to develop something like self-love.”
  • One user writes: “I am self-employed as a parent coach. However, the business is not going well yet. My question to the I Ching: ‘Am I on the right track? Should I rethink my target audience?'”

62 – preponderance of the small

Case Study

A user asks the I Ching the following question: “Does he call me because he still feels the same way as I do? Is he just calling out of kindness? Is he calling me because he misses me as much as I do? Does he still have feelings for me?” The I Ching’s answer is 62 – Preponderance of the Small.
