General interpretation of the hexagram according to Yu. Shutsky.
In the process of development of the underdeveloped, it is with particular force that the need for planning and endurance emerges, i.e. "the need to wait." And regarding self-education - one of the types of education in general - Myn-tzu gives the following parable:
"It is necessary [all the time] to work [on oneself], but not to [count on] immediate success. Let consciousness not forget about this matter, and not “help growth.” You don’t need to be like one person from the Song inheritance, who was depressed that his seedlings were not growing, and began to pull them out.
Having worked so hard, he returned home and said to his family: “How tired I am today! I helped the seedlings grow.” His son ran to look at the seedlings, but they had already dried up. There are few people in the world who do not “help” to grow like this.”
However, what is meant here is not a passive expectation of favorable circumstances, but, on the contrary, the most active preparatory activity: the lower trigram is “creativity,” which is still concentrated inside and has not yet manifested itself outside, because it is surrounded by fog and clouds (the upper trigram is external world- water).
If every event has its own cause, then by correctly creating the causes of future events, we prepare them correct implementation. By creating the truth now, its implementation can be left to the future, when it manifests itself. Therefore, at this stage, “possession” is essential, and then its “brilliance,” its obviousness, will develop by itself.
With such a distribution of activity, the “need to wait” itself takes on a slightly different meaning, and it is here that it is appropriate to indicate its final result, the opportunity to undertake a large and serious undertaking - to cross the great river - across the entire stream human life to fruitfully achieve the highest ideal of human perfection.
This image finds support in the hexagram itself: with all the fullness of the internal forces of creativity, courage and clarity in the face of the dangerous watery abyss of the environment - and decisively move into it.
These thoughts are expressed in the text as follows: The need to wait. Own the truth. Then its brilliance will develop, and its endurance will be fortunate. The ford across the great river is favorable.
Wait, expect; pay attention to what is needed; wait for the right moment; participate in the sacrifice.
Name
Xu (Need to wait): take care, look after, serve; provide what is necessary; wait, hesitate, doubt; have patience and focus; wait out the rain. The hieroglyph depicts rain and a sign indicating both a stop and a source. This implies the need to wait.

The first mention of fortune telling from the Book of Changes dates back to 672 BC. But to this day, any Chinese family uses interpretations of the I Ching in various everyday situations. The basis of fortune telling is the toss of three coins. If two or three coins are heads up, then the questioner draws a solid line on the paper. If it's heads, then it's intermittent. So, for the fortuneteller, hexagamma 5 fell. This means that the time of waiting has come.
Translated from Chinese, “Xu” (that’s what this hexagram is called) means “the need to wait.” Other meanings of the symbol are care, waiting, slowness, doubt, concentration, the need to have patience. It's like waiting out the rain. It is rain and the sign indicating a stop that hexagram 5 depicts. There are classical and modern interpretations of the hexagram. Moreover, any of them should be perceived not only logically, but also include sensory perception, taking into account what associations the interpretation evokes personally for the one who turns to the Book of Changes. This is her secret, that for different people the same text will have a completely different meaning and expected scenario. If you follow the recommendations received, you can find the best way to solve the problem.
The meaning of the I Ching hexagram advises the fortuneteller to wait for the right moment to active actions, which have no place now. Very soon the time will come when you will need to gather all your strength and plunge into the deep river of life and begin to implement your plans. Assertiveness and hasty actions can only do harm now. At the moment, it is necessary to carefully carry out current affairs and responsibilities, think through and evaluate everything planned, and study the situation. If you do this properly, help and support will come even faster. This time can be devoted to communicating with friends, sharing food and drink with them, which exactly corresponds to the spirit of this period, full of good rest, peace, tranquility and harmony. After some time, a certain person will appear - he will provide such help that you could not count on before. A sudden improvement in financial situation and the emergence of feelings for a person older than the fortuneteller are possible. The interpretation advises not to show this interest too much. The Chinese hexagram recommends patience: waiting can lead to fame and grandiose deeds. In general, the situation is favorable for the fortuneteller.
How to apply this interpretation to a particular situation in life? For example, in business, when a project is just beginning, it is necessary to attract investments to bring it to life. Obsession with the idea and the upcoming prospects from its implementation haunts us day and night. But doubts also have a place in life. In order to somehow clarify the situation, a person turns to the Book of Changes with the question “Is the idea destined to come true?”, and he gets hexagram 5. How can its interpretation be compared with events in life? First of all, the hexagram advises to wait, not to rush and start planning, act carefully, but without abandoning your goal.
Help will come - you just have to wait: the more serious the planned matter, the longer the wait will be. And only after this will the time come for decisive actions that will lead to glory and grandiose deeds. It’s worth double-checking everything thousands of times, even if you immediately receive an offer for financing. There are a lot of scammers in this environment, and if an offer comes on behalf of some reputable company, it is not a fact that this is really the case. You can also prevent communication with scammers and possible material losses.
This will be the caution that the Chinese hexagram advises. The grander the idea, the greater the likelihood that even loved ones will not provide support and will interfere with the implementation of plans. After all, the time spent thinking about the idea and searching for information could be devoted to your family. They are absolutely confident in the correctness of their actions when they demand attention to themselves to the detriment of grandiose, but still unlikely plans. Here it is worth showing persistence and determination, as the interpretation advises. See the goal in front of you and make efforts despite all the obstacles. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Time will pass, and the investor will provide his help, the money will come, and the work will require maximum concentration of effort. In the meantime, you should devote time to current affairs - albeit not so grandiose, but still necessary. The situation is favorable and we must take advantage of it.
I Ching hexagrams will answer any questions - do they concern business sphere or love. It often happens in life that a woman cannot find her happiness, which in her understanding means family life. Time is running, but a loved one never meets on the path of life. How to apply the interpretation of hexagram 5 to this situation? During the waiting period, you can devote yourself to your loved one, self-education, communication with friends, find a new hobby, relax and enjoy life. Harmony, agreement with yourself, positive attitude will help you blossom both externally and mentally. A new hobby for dancing, yoga or something else will expand the circle of acquaintances, and after a while the one and only one will meet. Life will shine with new colors, because more than one example has proven that there is a place for happiness at any age.
In this hexagram, the lower primary trigram, Heaven, also bears alternative name- “creativity”, because its main characteristic is to create, to create. It suggests activity, movement and positive force. Above it is Water, which symbolizes danger and thereby prevents activity. Consequently, the fifth hexagram speaks of the need to wait in order to avoid danger.
Waiting for the right moment is one of the key signs of the I Ching, and in this situation it is given special importance.
As a matter of principle, give up vigorous activity, curb your impatience and calmly wait for a more opportune moment before thoroughly getting down to any business.
Be determined to achieve this attitude and resist the urge to act hastily, because assertiveness will lead you straight into the abyss and result in failure and suffering.
However, if you carefully continue to move forward, step by step, you will be able to achieve your goal later. The same advice is given by the nuclear trigrams - Fire and Water - symbolizing warmth and joy. Therefore, persistently adhere to the advice of the hexagram. When a sage stands on the bank of a flooding river, he will wait until the water level recedes before crossing it calmly.

Changing Traits
Sixth
The peace has come to an end, problems arise from everywhere. You may feel like you are in a hopeless situation. Do not give up; remember: it is usually dark before dawn. Help will come suddenly, and the situation will change for the better if you can recognize the support. So be completely open.
Fifth (dominant)
For now, difficulties are expected. But remember that this is a temporary state of affairs. Use this period to reassess the situation more calmly and objectively. During this calm period, you should realize that the problem has not yet been solved, that difficulties will make themselves felt again, and that you still need to make a lot of effort to get help.
Fourth
You bide your time in the midst of chaos. Any attempts to resist the problem will only make things worse. Immediately, trying not to attract attention, get out of this situation.
Third
You begin to doubt that you can achieve anything worthwhile while on the Right Path. Anxiety causes you to take premature actions that leave you vulnerable to further attacks. The situation is not simple, because you are too scrupulous. Your only defense is extreme caution and the elimination of such base elements as doubt and fear.
Second
Trying to achieve your intended goal will only lead to new difficulties. There is a chance that unpleasant rumors will spread about you. If this happens, don't try to make excuses. Remove yourself from the situation and achieve inner peace. The truth will eventually come out.
First
You may have the impression that a serious problem is looming, and this feeling makes you anxious. Prepare for this, but don't worry about imagining dangerous consequences. Better stay calm inside. Giving way to such a base element as fear, you only undermine your strength. Therefore, drop it and live your life as usual.
The Xu hexagram in the I-Ching love spread indicates that events will now develop slowly, since you simply do not have the strength to make a new round in your life. Even if it seems to you that you are now overwhelmed with love, your feelings are more intense than ever, but in reality this is not the case. Moreover, the Xu hexagram warns that if you feel something like this, then this is already a signal that you have overestimated yourself. Hexagram Xu advises you to stop and pause in your love relationships, otherwise, against the backdrop of internal devastation, you can make many mistakes, the consequences of which will be difficult to correct.
The appearance of the Xu hexagram in the I Ching love chart symbolizes the moment when you have reached a certain spiritual milestone, beyond which lies the territory of the unknown. Your love partner now does not notice what is happening to you, and you have begun to react too sharply to everything. It is clear that such a situation will very quickly lead to conflict. Therefore, the Xu hexagram says - hide, maybe it even makes sense to stop close communication for a while and take a break from each other for a day or two.
In addition, the Xu hexagram suggests that, oddly enough, your love relationships need planning. Depending on the context of I-Ching love fortune-telling, this may mean specific planning for a wedding or the nuances of living together, or during the period of a nascent relationship, it may mean that you should rethink the way you treat each other; it is likely that you have long been abandoned - you’re not happy with it and it’s time to change it. Just understand, the Xu hexagram says that now you need to plan how you will change this, and not actually go ahead in the relationship. This will only make things worse.
In some love fortune telling, the I Ching hexagram Xu means that you just need to wait, no matter how much you want the object of your heartfelt feelings to reciprocate your feelings, but so far, alas, not everything is so simple, so be patient and wait.
In addition, the Xu hexagram now recommends understanding yourself, namely, deciding exactly what you are willing to sacrifice for the sake of happiness in love and what you are not. Moreover we're talking about not only about external aspects, but also internal ones. That is, the Xu hexagram advises you to reconsider your life principles and decide which of them you are willing to sacrifice for the sake of your loved one and love in general. As a matter of fact, this is the most important thing that needs to be done in this period, for this reason there has been a lull in your destiny. The Xu hexagram reminds us that love is not only feelings, but also a choice.
