The Situation

25. Wu Wang - Innocence (The Unexpected)
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)
Below (behind): Chên - The Arousing (Thunder)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Innocence. Supreme success.
Perseverance furthers.
If someone is not as he should be,
He has misfortune,
And it does not further him
To undertake something.


The Image for the Current Situation

Under heaven thunder rolls:
All things attain the natural state of innocence.
Thus the kings of old,
Rich in virtue, and in harmony with the time,
Fostered and nourished all beings.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 1: Innocent behavior brings good fortune.

Line 3: Undeserved misfortune.
The cow that was tethered by someone
Is the wanderer's gain, the citizen's loss.

Line 4: He who can be persevering
Remains without blame.

Line 5: Use no medicine in an illness
Incurred through no fault of your own.
It will pass of itself.


The Future

52. Kên - Keeping Still, Mountain
Above (in front): Kên - Keeping Still (Mountain)
Below (behind): Kên - Keeping Still (Mountain)


The Judgement for the Future

Keeping Still. Keeping his back still
So that he no longer feels his body.
He goes into the courtyard
And does not see his people.
No blame.


The Image for the Future

Mountains standing close together:
The image of Keeping Still.
Thus the superior man
Does not permit his thoughts
To go beyond his situation.
