Your current situation can be depicted as "Innocence (The Unexpected)" transforming into "The Wanderer".
In front of you lies "Heaven" which transforms into "Fire". That means that strength and creativity are being transformed into brightness and warmth. Behind you lies "Thunder" which transforms into "Mountain". That means that movement, initiative, and action are being transformed into stillness and obstruction.
The Situation
25. Wu Wang - Innocence (The Unexpected) Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven) Below (behind): Chên - The Arousing (Thunder)
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
Ch'ien, heaven is above; Chên, movement, is below. The lower trigram Chên is under the influence of the strong line it has received from above, from heaven. When, in accord with this, movement follows the law of heaven, man is innocent and without guile. His mind is natural and true, unshadowed by reflection or ulterior designs. For wherever conscious purpose is to be seen, there the truth and innocence of nature have been lost. Nature that is not directed by the spirit is not true but degenerate nature. Starting out with the idea of the natural, the train of thought in part goes somewhat further and thus the hexagram includes also the idea of the unintentional or unexpected.
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.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
Man has received from heaven a nature innately good, to guide him in all his movements. By devotion to this divine spirit within himself, he attains an unsullied innocence that leads him to do right with instinctive sureness and without any ulterior thought of reward and personal advantage. This instinctive certainty brings about supreme success and "furthers through perseverance". However, not everything instinctive is nature in this higher sense of the word, but only that which is right and in accord with the will of heaven. Without this quality of rightness, an unreflecting, instinctive way of acting brings only misfortune. Confucius says about this: "He who departs from innocence, what does he come to? Heaven's will and blessing do not go with his deeds. "
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.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
In springtime when thunder, life energy, begins to move again under the heavens, everything sprouts and grows, and all beings receive from the creative activity of nature the childlike innocence of their original state. So it is with the good rulers of mankind: drawing on the spiritual wealth at their command, they take care of all forms of life and all forms of culture and do everything to further them, and at the proper time.
Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)
Line 1: Innocent behavior brings good fortune.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
The original impulses of the heart are always good, so that we may follow them confidently, assured of good fortune and achievement of our aims.
Line 3: Undeserved misfortune. The cow that was tethered by someone Is the wanderer's gain, the citizen's loss.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
Sometimes undeserved misfortune befalls a man at the hands of another, as for instance when someone passes by and takes a tethered cow along with him. His gain is the owner's loss. In all transactions, no matter how innocent, we must accommodate ourselves to the demands of the time, otherwise unexpected misfortune overtakes us.
Line 5: Use no medicine in an illness Incurred through no fault of your own. It will pass of itself.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
An unexpected evil may come accidentally from without. If it does not originate in one's own nature or have a foothold there, one should not resort to external means to eradicate it, but should quietly let nature take its course. Then improvement will come of itself.
The Future
56. Lu - The Wanderer Above (in front): Li - The Clinging (Fire) Below (behind): Kên - Keeping Still (Mountain)
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
The mountain, Kên, stands still; above it fire, Li, flames up and does not tarry. Therefore the two trigrams do not stay together. Strange lands and separation are the wanderer's lot.
The Judgement for the Future
The Wanderer. Success through smallness. Perseverance brings good fortune To the wanderer.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
When a man is a wanderer and stranger, he should be not be gruff nor overbearing. He has no large circle of acquaintances, therefore he should not give himself airs. He must be cautious and reserved; in this way he protects himself from evil. If he is obliging toward others, he wins success. A wanderer has no fixed abode; his home is the road. Therefore he must take care to remain upright and steadfast, so that he sojourns only in the proper places, associating only with good people. Then he has good fortune and can go his way unmolested.
The Image for the Future
Fire on the mountain: The image of The Wanderer. Thus the superior man Is clear-minded and cautious In imposing penalties, And protracts no lawsuits.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
When grass on a mountain takes fire, there is bright light. However, the fire does not linger in one place, but travels on to new fuel. It is a phenomenon of short duration. This is what penalties and lawsuits should be like. They should be a quickly passing matter, and must not be dragged out indefinitely. Prisons ought to be places where people are lodged only temporarily, as guests are. They must not become dwelling places.
