How to correctly understand hexagram number 5. “What people usually call fate is, in essence, only a set of stupid things they have done,” - Arthur Schopenhauer. Interpretation of the hexagram in the translation of the canonical text of the Book of Changes

Wait and gather your strength, you will need it very soon - when spring comes, the snow will melt and the flowers will bloom again. Too hasty actions now can only bring harm.

Be patient a little more, about two months, until a certain person appears who will help you in a way that you do not expect.

If you are now decisively and energetically engaged in planning further actions, then help and support will come even faster. Your financial situation will suddenly improve. You may feel attracted to someone older than you. Try not to show too much interest in him.

Your desire will be fulfilled if you act purposefully and prudently enough.

“It is necessary [all the time] to work [on oneself], but not [to count on] immediate success. Let the consciousness not forget about this matter, and do not "help growth." You don't have to be like one of the Sung people 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 shoots, but they were already withered. Few people in the world don't "help" grow like that."

However, what is meant here is not the 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 does not yet manifest itself outside, for it is surrounded by fog and clouds (the upper trigram is external world- water).

If each event has its own cause, then by correctly creating the causes of future events, we prepare them correct implementation. Speaking the truth now, its realization can be left to the future when it will manifest itself. Therefore, at this stage, “possession” is essential, and then its “brilliance”, its evidence will develop by itself.

With such a distribution of activities, the very “need to wait” acquires 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 business - to cross the great river - across the entire stream. human life in order 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 front of the dangerous watery abyss of the environment - and resolutely move into it. These thoughts are expressed in the text as follows:

The need to wait. Have the truth. Then its brilliance will develop, and steadfastness will be fortunate. Favorable ford across the great river.

So here in question not yet about personal knowledge, but about the study of what can be gleaned from books or from the teacher's tradition. Of course, this should in no way replace the genuine independent act of cognition, for this is only a threshold, a suburb of cognition. However, this is an absolutely necessary step. Not only can it not be avoided, but even haste and impatience at this stage can only have a detrimental effect on the entire process. On the contrary, in this Necessity to wait, constancy in the activity of assimilation of what is already known brings the most beneficent fruits.

And at this stage, one cannot in any way blame a person for slowness, because it follows from constancy, from the very need to wait. It goes without saying that a personal struggle against erroneous and false views is unthinkable here. This is expressed in the text as follows:

Strong in the beginning. Waiting in the suburbs. Favors the constancy of activity. There will be no bullshit.

At the next, second stage, something more is required than a simple intellectual assimilation of what is already known. Here man must himself come out to the immediate given world and come into contact with it both passively, in contemplation, and actively, in the moral activity arising from cognition. Doubts here should already be overcome. But precisely because of this volitional effort towards new knowledge, everything that is inert and inert in a person is indignant and resists this impulse. Therefore, here, only on the shore, on the coastal sand of knowledge, the need to wait is characterized by the fact that there will be “small rumors”, a certain dispute between the impulse to new knowledge and the inertia of accumulated experience. But the true ability to wait and wait here, in the end, leads to happiness. The text says this:

Strong trait in second place. Waiting on the [coastal] sand. There will be small bumps. Ultimately, happiness.

For the final assimilation of new knowledge, it is necessary to wait until the acquired knowledge becomes as natural and involuntary as, for example, sensory perception. If the previous step can be likened to waiting on the shore, then here another step forward is taken, even closer to the river (which is symbolized by the upper trigram "water" - "river"). Here is waiting in the silt. Here everything is negative, all the forces of inertia and darkness appear in all their power. It is here that they must be overcome, but for this we must first warn about their onset. We find such a warning in the text:

Strong feature in third place. Waiting in the silt. The arrival of robbers is imminent.

further movement is expressed in a very special form of the need to wait. This is not a passive expectation, but a creative, active expectation, full of internal forces acquired at the previous steps. Here, in order to carry the acquired knowledge into the future, it is necessary to protect it and win it back from all opposing forces. In the seeming calm of waiting, in reality, such intense activity takes place that it can only be expressed in the form of a bloody battle. No longer on the coastal sand, not in the silt, one has to wait in the wings here: here is the expectation of blood. But only it makes it possible to get out of the dark cave of ignorance into an open and clearly perceived world. The text wraps this up in the following images:

Weak trait in fourth place. Expectation is in the blood. Exit from the cave.

Having won the battle of the previous stage, a person comes to that stage of expectation, at which the boundaries of positive and negative are erased. Everything has already been conquered, everything has already been achieved. Both previously obtained knowledge and the content of the new act of cognition are generalized. There comes a moment of calm, a moment when there is no need for activity, when a calm feast is possible, after which the time of waiting passes. All that is needed here is calm determination. Thanks to her alone, happiness is guaranteed. This is only possible thanks to what was positively acquired in the previous steps. The text says the following about this:

Strong trait in fifth place. Waiting for wine and dishes. Resilience is a blessing.

A complete new knowledge has been achieved. Moreover: it is finally mastered. This makes it possible not only to know, but also to be able. What used to be a personal limitation is no longer able to limit. What previously seemed like a dark cave from which it is necessary to escape into the light, no longer darkens. The man lived the right time to wait. He gained access to the heights of knowledge of the world, and thus he acquired the opportunity, without prejudice to himself, to descend into the gloomy depths of the world. And it is in them that the creative forces accumulated at the first three preparatory stages of expectation return to him. Their action reflects the nature of all this waiting time. They arrive like three leisurely guests. They must be treated with full respect, for ultimate success depends on them. These are the forces of youth that are given the opportunity to re-manifest in old age to create the consummation of the unity of a person's biography. The text expresses these thoughts in the imagery that is normal for our monument:

Above is a weak feature. You will enter the cave. There will be the arrival of three unhurried guests. Honor them, and in the end there will be happiness.

Description of external and hidden hexagrams

in the manifested world.
There is no end to the blue ocean. Life is raging, filled with dangerous events.
A plateau consisting of pure gold begins to emerge from under the water to the surface. Through obstacles, hardships and dangers, a priceless treasure begins to appear from the inner plane.
Ocean waves will wash and polish gold so that it will illuminate the whole world! It is thanks to dangerous trials that a beautiful treasure will appear and shine.
Heaven's gift! This is a gift from heaven, a gift from God!

In the subtle world (on the subconscious), the picture is similar, which doubles the power of what is happening.
Flames shot up to the sky, illuminating everything around. Passions boil, emotions boil. All attention is captured by the ongoing events (the property of fire is cohesion). There is complete clarity.
Under the fire, a beautiful underground lake woke up with ingots of gold at the bottom. Passions will give rise to a concrete solution containing a valuable treasure.
The water will put out the fire and turn into steam itself. Ingots of gold will appear from the ground. Joyful achievement will extinguish the fire of passions. The clarity of what is happening will be completely lost. It’s not at all clear why it all happened, why did it happen to me? Stable bonds (cohesion of fire) will also be destroyed. A joyful accomplishment will reveal valuable gold bars hidden in the depths of the subconscious.
The marvelous radiance of gold bars will illuminate the world. As a result of serious and unexpected trials, a person will begin to radiate wonderful higher vibrations into the world!

General interpretation of hexagram No. 5

In the manifested reality, a plateau of gold will sparkle so brightly and cleanly only because it is well washed in high water, only because of serious obstacles, hardships and problems. So Her Majesty KARMA cleans out everything unnecessary, alluvial, leaving only pure gold, only pure radiance of love, as a gift from God. In the subtle world, unshakable connections will be shaken, the clarity of what is happening will be completely lost. This is what always happens when KARMA enters the scene, inexplicable, not obeying the logic of the current play of life. Her Majesty KARMA writes her completely incomprehensible scenarios. It is impossible to explain it, it is useless to fight it. You just have to accept everything and wait until the situation is resolved and the gold hidden in the depths with a vengeance (in the outer world and in the subconscious) sparkles with a joyful accomplishment through the thickness of waters, troubles, passions and obstacles.

It is favorable to accept everything passively and with love, without losing faith in the happy outcome of events, which will certainly happen here. Any action to combat external problems is likely to only exacerbate them.

MULTI-DIMENSIONALITY
(OPPOSITE VIBRATION OF HEXAGRAM #5)
FREE WILL

FREE WILL - there are no obstacles to the implementation of any action. Everything will be put into practice, like clockwork.
FREE WILL will easily make it possible to realize the most unbridled desires and fantasies, to achieve well-being and success in any business. This is a very big danger of forgetting in great achievements and losing the most precious thing - your soul. Therefore, FREE WILL, as a rule, generates KARMA.

IT SEEMS THAT DISASTERS HAVE CLOSED THE SKY ITSELF FOREVER, BUT THE RAYS OF THE SUN WILL BE SURE TO BREAK FROM INSIDE AND SOON ILLUMINATE EVERYTHING. WHAT THE SKY WILL BECOME UNUSUALLY BLUE AND CLEAN!

Positions for awareness:

1. A negative act is nothing more than a consequence of karmic problems. And where can negative action come from if there is no negativity in the soul. Negative emotion in the soul is primary, action is secondary.The connection between emotions and karmic problems is direct and close: a constant negative emotion that appears with appropriate irritating factors indicates the presence of a karmic problem (deformation of the soul pattern). A negative external action does not always indicate the presence of a negative emotion, and, therefore, a karmic problem. The person who committed negative act may not even have karmic problems. His act, perhaps, manifested itself only once under the influence of a rush of energy that is not characteristic of this person. This act may simply be random or caused by someone else's strong emotion. After all, emotion is energy that manifests itself where the appropriate conditions have been created. If a person experiencing a strong negative emotion never loses control over himself, then he will never commit acts that manifest this emotion. This does not mean at all that there is no deformation of the structure of the soul, that is, karmic problems. It also does not mean that the energy (emotion) will remain without realization. Maybe, after some time, circumstances will develop thousands of kilometers away, there will be people who only slightly resonate with this emotion and who are not able to control themselves. This will be enough for the energy of the emotion to manifest itself in specific negative actions. On the physical plane, all the blame will fall on these people, from the point of view of karmic problems, the responsibility lies with a person with a strong negative emotion. Although he, most likely, will never even know about the specific manifestations of the energy generated by him. Thus, the true perpetrator of a crime is not necessarily the person who committed the crime. It is also not necessary that a person who has not done anything bad in life has pure karma. Watch your emotions and thoughts, they are more significant than specific actions.

2. All actions of a person are imprinted in the pattern of his soul. This is how karma is formed, which determines the fate of a person. Any significant negative act of a person will cause a situation in his future life where this person himself will be affected by similar actions. Thus, karmic problems cannot be quickly overcome. They should be worked out. This explains why a person who has embarked on the path of purification experiences so much suffering throughout, perhaps, his entire life.

3. There is no karma at all. And there is a response to events that has developed over the course of a person’s life under the influence of various factors. This is what determines the different behavior of people in similar circumstances. Such reactions can be developed purposefully. This reaction, together with many life accidents, shapes our destiny.

4. The law of karma is inevitable until active awareness is turned on. Our thoughts are determined by past experiences and shape all the events around us. A conscious change of thoughts, by refusing to condemn and any assessments, burns karma. External negative events will not come, despite the negative experience of the past, because the very reason that causes them, the negative thought, disappears. Karma must be burned by awareness!

5. Thoughts and emotions form our subtle energy structure. Further, like attracts like. If we condemn someone, then these vibrations are in our energy shell (aura). This means that everything that we condemn will be attracted into our life, like a magnet. This is called the law of Karma, meaning only the external manifestations of the law of attraction of like to like.

6. The Law of Karma is the inevitable law of Divine justice. If you act inharmoniously, you cause damage to someone, you will have to get into a similar situation yourself. The law of karma is the law of heavenly justice, which cannot be deceived.

7. Love reigns in the world, not inevitable revenge. If a person has changed and repented, why should he continue to be a victim of his negative past deeds. The past is long gone, and the person here and now is completely different. Would you punish a repentant child? And even more so, God is love itself. Karma is burned by remorse.

8. There is no law of Karma. Just look around, no matter how badly a person does, if he himself believes that he did everything right, then he lives very well. And the opposite, if a very worthy, virtuous person considers himself a sinner and is waiting for punishment, then punishment in the form of various trials and misfortunes will surely come to him. Where is the law of Karma? The materialization of thoughts is what rules the world!

9. “Nothing is ever gone until it teaches us what we need to know.” – Pema Chodron

10 . "Karma is an unfinished energy" - Kryon (Carroll Lee).

11 . Let's say I killed a person and earned negative karma. It is generally accepted that karma will be worked out when I myself am killed under similar circumstances. This opinion reflects the general bias in the minds of people in the direction of everything material, manifested. But karma deforms the subtle structures of consciousness; it cannot be touched by hands. Therefore, even if they kill me a hundred times, but I will consider myself absolutely right in that initial situation, then absolutely nothing will change. If this situation happens again, I will kill in the same way. There is only one way out of the circles of karma, when I sincerely tell myself that I was wrong, and for this it is not at all necessary to be killed in the manifested reality.

12. “Whoever does not understand his past will be forced to relive it again,” Buddha.

13 . The misfortunes in your life testify to unconscious karmic problems.

14 . The unhappiness in your life indicates that you are on the verge of moving to a new higher level of consciousness.

15 . “The unfair thing that I do to another person becomes my own destiny.” - Bert Hellinger.

16 . “Karma is more than just unfinished business. Karma is not a punishment for actions in the past. The attribute of condemnation has nothing to do with God. Karma is the feeling of past lifetimes and the emotional response that pushes you to either do it again or stay away from it.” – Kryon “Recalibrating Humanity” channeled by Carroll Lee.

17. A person is greater than karma and can discard it. “The new energy brings new survival motivators for ancient souls and ideas where karma will no longer enter your brain. We advised you to get rid of karma, because it is no longer needed. Go forward with the energy of the Akashic that you create for your future, and do not be guided by ideas from the past, ”Kryon“ Recalibrating Humanity ”channeled by Carroll Lee.

18. “The only law of karma, the law is eternal and unchanging, is harmony in the world of matter, as absolute as it is in the world of spirit. It follows from this that it is not karma that rewards or punishes us, but we ourselves reward or punish ourselves, depending on whether we work together with nature, being in harmony with its laws, or violate them, ”- Blavatsky E.

19. “How people treat you is their karma, how you react is yours.” – Wayne Dyer

20. “Master, what is karma? - Karma is the gratitude of the Universe for your deeds. - Gratitude? - What affairs, such and gratitude!- Moriko Kitsune.

21. “We reiterate that there is no greater love in the universe than when best friends come into the world of duality to hurt each other if it is appropriate for their training – one puts on a mask of anger and hatred, and the other is in the position of a victim, and they go through life, exchanging the energy of hatred. There is no greater love. For this is karma at its most powerful, filled to the brim with destiny that needs to be worked through and released.” – Kryon

30. “You may meet a very good person who is having a very hard time, and you, an outside observer, may think that it is unfair that such a good person is suffering so much, or that this person is paying for extremely heavy karma. But you may be wrong. How do you know that this person endures pain and suffering not in order to understand how this pain and suffering can be removed from those who will come after him? Do not think that this is always retribution for bad karma. It can be the accumulation of good karma.” – Lobsang Rampa Thirteenth Candle.

31. “The laws of Karma impress me most of all in them. "He who offended a donkey in this life will become a donkey himself in the next." Not to mention cows. A very fair system.

General interpretation according to Y. Shutsky

Each person has the ability to new acts of knowledge. But so far, as long as they exist only quite latently, the process of new knowledge has not yet begun, and it is still inappropriate to speak of any need to wait. There is nothing else to look forward to. But as soon as the process of cognition is put into action, it is immediately necessary to reckon with the regularity of the rhythm in which it proceeds, for the success and effectiveness of its development. The very first stages in the process of new cognition consist in the thorough assimilation of what was already known to the predecessors. Therefore, here we are not talking about personal knowledge, but about the study of what can be gleaned from books or from the teacher's tradition. Of course, this should in no way replace the genuine independent act of cognition, for this is only a threshold, a suburb of cognition. However, this is an absolutely necessary step. Not only can it not be avoided, but even haste and impatience at this stage can only have a detrimental effect on the entire process. On the contrary, in this Necessity to wait - constancy in the activity of assimilation of what is already known brings the most good fruits. And at this stage, one cannot in any way blame a person for slowness, because it follows from constancy, from the very need to wait. It goes without saying that a personal struggle against erroneous and false views is unthinkable here. In the text, this is expressed in the following words: At the beginning, a strong feature. Waiting in the suburbs. Favors the constancy of activity. There will be no bullshit.

At the next, second stage, something more is required than a simple intellectual assimilation of what is already known. Here, a person must himself go out to the immediate given world and come into contact with it both passively - in contemplation, and actively - in moral activity arising from cognition. Doubts here should already be overcome. But precisely because of this volitional effort towards new knowledge, everything that is inert and inert in a person is indignant and resists this impulse. Therefore, here only, on the shore, towards knowledge, the need to wait is characterized by the fact that there will be “small rumors”, a certain dispute between the impulse to new knowledge and the inertia of accumulated experience. But the true ability to wait and wait here, in the end, leads to happiness. The text says this: Strong trait in second place. Waiting on the (coastal) sand. There will be small bumps. In the end - happiness.

For the final assimilation of new knowledge, it is necessary to wait until the acquired knowledge becomes as natural and involuntary as, for example, sensory perception. If the previous step can be likened to waiting on the shore, then here another step forward is taken, even closer to the river (which is symbolized by the upper trigram "water" - "river"). Here - waiting in the silt. Here everything is negative, all the forces of inertia and darkness appear in all their power. It is here that they must be overcome, but for this we must first warn about their onset. We find such a warning in the text: A strong feature is in third place. Waiting in the silt. The arrival of robbers is imminent.

With a favorable outcome of the crisis expressed in the previous position, further movement is expressed in a very special form of the need to wait. This is not a passive expectation, but a creative, active expectation, full of internal forces acquired at the previous steps. Here, in order to carry the acquired knowledge into the future, it is necessary to protect it and win it back from all opposing forces. In the seeming calm of waiting, in reality, such intense activity takes place that it can only be expressed in the form of a bloody battle. No longer on the coastal sand, not in the silt, one has to wait in the wings here: here is the expectation of blood. But only it makes it possible to get out of the dark cave of ignorance into an open and clearly perceived world. The text wraps this up in the following images: Weak trait in fourth place. Expectation is in the blood. Exit from the cave.

In the process of development of the underdeveloped, it is with special force that the need for planning and endurance comes forward, i.e. "the need to wait." And regarding self-education - one of the types of education in general - Myn-chzy cites the following parable: “It is necessary (all the time) to work (on oneself), but not (to count on) immediate success. Let the consciousness not forget about this matter, and do not "help growth." You don't have to be like one of the Sung people 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 shoots, but they were already withered. Few people in the world don't "help" grow like that." However, this does not mean the 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 does not yet manifest itself outside, because it is surrounded by fog and clouds (the upper trigram is the outside world - water). If each event has its own cause, then by correctly creating the causes of future events, we prepare their correct implementation. By creating truth now, its realization can be left to the future, when it will manifest itself. Therefore, at this stage, “possession” is essential, and then its “brilliance”, its evidence will develop by itself. With such a distribution of activity, the very “need to wait” 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 business - to cross the great river - through the entire stream of human life, in order 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 front of the dangerous watery abyss of the environment - and resolutely move into it. These thoughts in the text are expressed as follows: The need to wait. Have the truth. Then its brilliance will develop, and steadfastness will be fortunate. Favorable ford across the great river. 1 Each person has the ability to new acts of knowledge. But so far, as long as they exist only quite latently, the process of new knowledge has not yet begun, and it is still inappropriate to speak of any need to wait. There is nothing else to look forward to. But as soon as the process of cognition is put into action, it is immediately necessary to reckon with the regularity of the rhythm in which it proceeds, for the success and effectiveness of its development.

And at this stage, one cannot in any way blame a person for slowness, because it follows from constancy, from the very need to wait. It goes without saying that a personal struggle against erroneous and false views is unthinkable here. In the text, this is expressed in the following words: At the beginning, a strong feature. Waiting in the suburbs. Favors the constancy of activity. There will be no bullshit. 2 The next step, the second step, requires more than the mere intellectual assimilation of what is already known. Here, a person must himself go out to the immediate given world and come into contact with it both passively - in contemplation, and actively - in moral activity arising from cognition. Doubts here should already be overcome. But precisely because of this volitional effort towards new knowledge, everything that is inert and inert in a person is indignant and resists this impulse. Therefore, here only, on the shore, towards knowledge, the need to wait is characterized by the fact that there will be “small rumors”, a certain dispute between the impulse to new knowledge and the inertia of accumulated experience. But the true ability to wait and wait here, in the end, leads to happiness. The text says this: Strong trait in second place. Waiting on the (coastal) sand. There will be small bumps. In the end - happiness. 3 For the final assimilation of new knowledge, it is necessary to wait until the acquired knowledge becomes as natural and involuntary as, for example, sensory perception. If the previous step can be likened to waiting on the shore, then here another step forward is taken, even closer to the river (which is symbolized by the upper trigram "water" - "river"). Here - waiting in the silt. Here everything is negative, all the forces of inertia and darkness appear in all their power. It is here that they must be overcome, but for this we must first warn about their onset. We find such a warning in the text: A strong feature is in third place. Waiting in the silt. The arrival of robbers is imminent. 4 With a favorable outcome of the crisis expressed in the previous position, further movement is expressed in a very special form of the need to wait. This is not a passive expectation, but a creative, active expectation, full of internal forces acquired at the previous steps. Here, in order to carry the acquired knowledge into the future, it is necessary to protect it and win it back from all opposing forces. In the seeming calm of waiting, in reality, such intense activity takes place that it can only be expressed in the form of a bloody battle. No longer on the coastal sand, not in the silt, one has to wait in the wings here: here is the expectation of blood. But only it makes it possible to get out of the dark cave of ignorance into an open and clearly perceived world. The text wraps this up in the following images: Weak trait in fourth place. Expectation is in the blood. Exit from the cave. 5 Having won the battle of the previous stage, a person comes to that stage of expectation, at which the boundaries of positive and negative are erased. Everything has already been conquered, everything has already been achieved. Both previously obtained knowledge and the content of the new act of cognition are generalized. There comes a moment of calm, a moment when there is no need for activity, when a calm feast is possible, after which the time of waiting passes. All that is needed here is calm determination. Thanks to her alone, happiness is guaranteed. This is only possible thanks to what was positively acquired in the previous steps. The text on this occasion says the following: Strong trait in fifth place. Waiting for wine and dishes. Resilience is a blessing. 6 Complete new knowledge achieved. Moreover: it is finally mastered. This makes it possible not only to know, but also to be able. What used to be a personal limitation is no longer able to limit. What previously seemed like a dark cave from which it is necessary to escape into the light, no longer darkens. The man lived the right time to wait. He gained access to the heights of knowledge of the world, and thus he acquired the opportunity, without prejudice to himself, to descend into the gloomy depths of the world. And it is in them that the creative forces accumulated at the first three preparatory stages of expectation return to him. Their action reflects the nature of all this waiting time. They arrive like three leisurely guests. They must be treated with full respect, for ultimate success depends on them. These are the forces of youth that are given the opportunity to re-manifest in old age to create the consummation of the unity of a person's biography. The text expresses these thoughts in the imagery that is normal for our monument: There is a weak line at the top. You will enter the cave. There will be the arrival of three unhurried guests. Honor them, and in the end there will be happiness.

The first mention of divination according to the Book of Changes dates back to 672 BC. But to this day, in any Chinese family, interpretations of i-ching are used in various everyday situations. The basis of divination is the tossing of three coins. If two or three coins lay heads up, then the questioner draws a solid line on paper. If tails - then intermittent. So, for the fortuneteller, hexagamma 5 fell out. This means that the waiting time has come.

Translated from Chinese, "Xu" (that's what this hexagram is called) means "the need to wait." Other meanings of the symbol are caring, waiting, slowness, doubt, concentration, the need to have patience. It's like waiting out the rain. It is the rain and the sign indicating the 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 connect sensory perception, taking into account what associations the interpretation evokes personally for someone who refers to the Book of Changes. This is her secret, that for different people the same text will have a completely different meaning and the intended scenario. If you follow the recommendations received, you can find the best way to solve the problem.

The meaning of the i-ching of the hexagram advises the fortuneteller to wait for the right moment for active action for which there is no place yet. Very soon the time will come when you need to gather all your strength and plunge into the full-flowing river of life, start implementing your plans. Assertiveness and hasty actions now can only do harm. At the moment, it is necessary to carefully carry out current affairs and duties, 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 just 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. Perhaps a sudden improvement in the financial situation and the emergence of feelings for a person older than a fortuneteller. 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 being born, it is necessary to attract investments for its implementation. The obsession with the idea and the upcoming prospects from its implementation do not give rest day or 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 be realized?", And he gets hexagram 5. How can its interpretation be compared with events in life? First of all, the hexagram advises to wait, take your time and do planning, act prudently, but without leaving your goal.

Help will come - you just have to wait: the more serious the conceived case, the longer the wait will be. And only after that will the time come for decisive action that will lead to glory and grandiose deeds. It is worth double-checking everything a thousand times, even if an offer for financing is received immediately. There are a lot of scammers in this environment, and if the offer comes from some reputable company, it is not yet a fact that this is really the case. You can also prevent communication with fraudsters and possible material losses.

This will be the prudence that the Chinese hexagram advises to show. The grander the idea, the more likely it is that even loved ones will not provide support and will interfere with the implementation of plans. After all, the time spent thinking about ideas and searching for information could be devoted to your family. They are absolutely sure of the correctness of their actions when they demand attention to themselves to the detriment of even grandiose, but so far unlikely plans. Here it is worth showing perseverance and determination, as the interpretation advises. See the goal in front of you and make efforts, despite all the obstacles. What doesn't kill makes us stronger. Time will pass, and the investor will provide his assistance, the money will come, and the work will require maximum concentration of forces. In the meantime, you should devote time to current affairs - albeit not so grandiose, but still necessary. The situation is favorable and this should be used.

I-ching hexagrams will give an answer to any questions - whether they concern business sphere or love. It often happens in life that a woman cannot find her happiness in any way, which in her understanding means family life. Time is running, but a native person does not meet in any way on the path of life. How to apply the interpretation of hexagram 5 for this situation? The waiting period can be devoted to yourself, self-education, communication with friends, find a new hobby, relax and enjoy life. Harmony, harmony with oneself, positive attitude will help to blossom both externally and soul. A new passion for dancing, yoga or something else will expand the circle of acquaintances, and after a while the one and only beloved will meet. Life will shine with new colors, because more than one example has proved that there is a place for happiness at any age.
