FWIW - I for one appreciate posters going to the trouble of copying and pasting the I Ching hexagrams they are referencing. It saves me the trouble of tracking them down and also I can then see what translation they are using.
I said
"The only bit of your post that is yours is this
"This is regarding a dog named Polly that we are forstering at the moment. I am wondering what is best for her? "
Hang on you haven't written in the change lines either. It should be 54.1.2.4>2"
So if the reading is clearly written as 54.1.2.4>2 it is far easier to get to grips with it
Maybe you could keep her if you put her in her place as of secondary importance (54) ? I'm sure you already know dogs are naturally hierarchical, they attach to us as the pack leader however if at any point they feel you aren't pack leader they are going to be trouble.
I read your other thread and if the dog nips your 5 year old then I'm afraid in your shoes I wouldn't give it house room, I don't think dogs should be nipping anybody let alone a child. So surely this either has to be 'nipped in the bud' very sharply or get rid of the dog.
However this is a very compliant reading 'Marrying Maiden's Receptive'. The 2 is surely open to receive training, open to follow, to be in service. What is this dog's service ? I wondered if it had it's service it may stop nipping. By 'service' I mean role/job, different dogs have different ones. Labs like getting sticks and sheep dog like rounding things up and all that is part of their nature, their very genetic make up to which the rest of their life is in service. I'm seeing 54>2 as a dog in service (54) to it's own nature (2).
What's best for her seems to be she feels in service beneath her top dog, you ?
If this reading referred to what your relation is to the issue it might be saying a similar thing of you need to let this dog know you are pack leader.
These thoughts are a bit random but that's what comes to mind first. Line 4 may indicate you find a better home for her in due course, one where her innate capacities can be used more ?
