‘Decreasing has truth and confidence.
From the source, good fortune.
Not a mistake, there can be constancy.
Fruitful to have somewhere to go.
How to use this?
Two gui-bowls may be used for the offering.’
Hexagram 41, Oracle
‘Below the mountain is the lake. Decreasing.
A noble one curbs anger and restrains desires.’
Hexagram 41, the Image
‘Stilling your back,
Not grasping your self.
Moving in your courtyard,
Not seeing your people.
Not a mistake.’
Hexagram 52, the Oracle
‘Joined mountains. Stilling.
A noble one in his thoughts does not leave his place.’
Hexagram 52, the Image
Do you mean 41UC by any chance?I remember receiving 42UC
Yes, totally. Edited.Do you mean 41UC by any chance?
I have some nice, simple 41uc experiences too. A couple along the lines of 'What should I do about this time-consuming project that no-one appears to want?'Thanks, Hilary!
I remember receiving 41UC in reply to a question in the dark months of 2020, about whether accepting dramatically lower fees for my work was a good strategy during a period when work was very difficult to find. I felt my heart sink when I saw the hexagram emerge, before I read the Judgment. But after, I realized it wasn't at all negative, it was about responding appropriately in a time of diminished opportunities, staying in the game, maintaining connections with clients for when times improved. I phrased it as a "discount period" until the end of the year, to remind clients that it was for a limited period, to be revised at the end of the year.
Rutt goes even more far afield and calls 52 "Cleaving", and his hexagram statement starts with:Shaugnessey .... translates the word as look with malice, glare. So, for the line statements, he gets:
Glare at his feet ...
Glare at his calf ...
The 'looks backwards' function of Gen is a central one for me - and when I see the 'big-eye' looking backward ideogram this is what it reminds me of."Ideogram of the hexagram name: a person with a very big eye, which looks backwards.
I guess, yeah. The end of the cycle thing. Time to look back over the year. Hmm, yeah. Okay, I like "looking back" much better than "glaring."The 'looks backwards' function of Gen is a central one for me - and when I see the 'big-eye' looking backward ideogram this is what it reminds me of.
Yes, thanks. That's my general take on Gen (either the hexagram or trigram) as well - Keeping Still, Stilling, Stillness, Stabilizing, or simply 'Mountain' all work for me. 'Stilling' also very much reminds me of the stillness of a mountain (or mountains) in late winter.I'm sticking with 'stilling' ....
