Hexagram 5: Xū. Patience
You seek to advance just when dangers are at their peak. Wait it out. Cultivate patience. Let momentum build in the natural course, slow and steady. Heaven has set the course for an outcome in your favor, but patience is required. Do not force an outcome in a way that would not align with the Divine. Put your faith in the natural flow of events. Even when we pray or petition the gods and ancestors, they do not come because we’ve summoned them; they come because they’ve summoned us.
Hexagram 29: Kǎn. The Abyss
A primal chaos before creation, a dark night with no glimmer of moonlight, sinking into the depths of an abyss—such is the nature of the womb that births the eminent ones. A journey at this time is favorable for avoiding the pitfalls. Move to sidestep the path of the storm. Seek refuge and be refuge. Honor the gods and ancestors to receive further insight.
Hexagram 52: Gěn. Listen to the Wind
Quiet your heart and be calm. Remember that even stillness can be a form of movement. The sage contemplates the situation in stillness. It is natural for the heart to fluctuate and a mind to flutter, but exercise restraint. Listen to the wind. That is how you will hear the answer to your inquiry—the wind will carry an important omen to you. Silence is the way to self-mastery. You show your strength to others when you sit tall like a mountain, walk with the formidable presence of a mountain, all the while calm and serene. Think before you speak. Silence is the way to prevailing in your endeavor. Present inaction paves the way for future gains.
