Hi everyone!

This morning I asked what to expect today from a situation. Normally when I get hexagrams with more than 3 changing lines I get a little bit frustrated, but this combination struck me as particularly odd:

52.1.2.4.5 to 1

From "Keeping Still" to the epitome of action that is "The Creative". All Ying lines in 52 changing to Yang. My first instinct was to think, OK so something is coming, shifting, there's a movement in a situation that is pretty much stalled. Then I looked at the lines:
1. Pause, gather strength, do not act yet.
2. There really shouldn't be any action/You lost the chance of "not acting"
4. A "quieting" of thoughts and feeings.
5. Caution with what is said.

All changing lines point out to being still: no movement, no talking, no mulling, no feeling, just being, quietly. Is it a warning? Is hex 1 telling me that the urge to move is big but I need to restrain myself? Or is it that there is movement behind the scenes, yet my role should be that of keeping still?

I would reallylove to hear your input. :stir:

Yes.

h1 is about potential, the emptiness in a sense that everything is possible. A source of all things, Heaven.
Nothing is defined, no yin lines. Anything can happen and materialize from that.

Just look at the transitional hexagrams :) All about less and less activity, more and more potential.

Hi Ash,
That looks awesome. It makes me think about the first axiom of communication theory: One cannot not communicate. Taken to action principles, how non action is an action in itself and creates change.
So pretty.
