So if you receive an unchanging hexagram, you entered into your reading through Hexagram 2, Earth. You arrive at your question like the mare: free-roaming, full of energy and spirit, and paying the closest attention to cues and guidance. You have a ‘direction to go’, a sense of purpose – often a very coherent one with great power and momentum of its own – but you are still in search of a ‘master’, a sense of how it might unfold. There is a confusion of possibilities, and you are waiting for a single beacon to emerge from it all.
(Maybe this is why people sometimes find an unchanging hexagram frustrating: they have a particular desire for guidance, to be told how something is to be done, and they receive no moving lines. No specific advice ‘lights up’ for them; they’re not given signposts. It’s as if they’ve been short-changed, cheated of precisely the kind of answer they were looking for!)
The question that receives an unchanging hexagram in response might be asking, in effect, ‘Why?’ or ‘What is behind this?’ There’s an underlying desire to know and be in touch with the guiding principle at work: to connect with whatever it is that you’re enacting, manifesting or serving.
This questioner has no relating hexagram (yet). They have no place to stand from which to relate to this; they don’t have a way or place for it to ‘fit in’. There’s no answer (yet) to the question, ‘Where is this all taking me?’ or ‘how is this unfolding?’
So they enter the reading with Hexagram 2, and to carry on and move through it, they need to bring this into balance with Hexagram 1. That’s a balance of being in service and willing to lend support (to a person, to an ideal, to an idea…), with their own personal creativity. It could be as simple as uncovering who they want to be or what they want to do in and of themselves, from their own intrinsic creative drive, that is not a function of anything or anyone else.
When I receive Hex. 35, I try to show my virtue, my worth, my abilities... And also try to adhere myself to obedience, as the judgment and image says ...
I think its very important to note that we are dealing with a king, we are trying to be something that the king likes, or maybe we try to do something that can be useful for him...
This king can be a person you love but you are not with, It can be the CEO of a company, etc...
But the important think to bear in mind is that in 35, we are in a situation where we need to be or do something that attracts this king so we can get our horses ;-)
Wheter is to be in a relationship with someone that can choose, and you want to be the one, or maybe an important position in a company, or maybe the king can be the producer that has the money to bring you script to the big screen! An so on...
In a nutshell, I would say that when you get Hex. 35, maybe the actions or the strategy in the back of your mind are the ones that are out of synch, but when getting 35, IMHO, it implies that you are somehow in a position where you can thrive... But maybe I'm wrong and not necessarily always the case!
Yes, unchanging can be 'this is how it is'. The absence of relating hexagram can be 'you haven't decided where you stand and how you relate to this' or it can be 'there is nothing for you to do, no stance for you to have, it is how it is.'The other side of the hex 2 i think is you may have no choice, , you follow the path already previously laid down in tradition/law/custom.or outer circumstances guide you inevitably in a direction, theres no other way to go. So an unchanging hexagram can simply be a 'this is how it is' statement. Not everything in our lives is malleable . Hex 2 always reminds me of something like an application form for a job. You have to follow the guidelines...you can't gallop off the sides of the page and write exactly what you want to write.
The mare you describe is free and having some choice...a very liberated and proactive mare lol but I'm not so sure about that...the other side is fatedness/submission to destiny and pre existing facts/realities that can't be reshaped to our own will.
Sometimes the unchanging hex is simply that which cannot be changed..is how it is. Sometimes its meaningis very clear like "what shall i do in this relationship ?" 33 unchanging...well it just doesn't give you space to wonder in does it ?
Hi Hilary,
If the Oracle hexagram is your basic answer to your question. Then in a universe of flux it is still in process. If there are moving lines the ongoing change is channeled into those stages. If there are no moving lines, then the natural motion of the Oracle will be through all the lines in sequence of the Oracle hexagram. What happens after the 6th and final line? That is the Next Timing and situation out the other end of the Oracle.

People instinctively feel that there must be some distinct, special meaning in receiving an unchanging hexagram. And I think there is – though it’s so closely tied up with the meaning of the particular hexagram received that it’s really quite hard to pin down.
When I get an unchanging hex, I like it. As if I am told that things are moving along quite right, just let them go, don't interfere, go along with the flow. Situation (the relating hex) and actions (the primary hex) are identical, so there is no divergence there, nothing I have to worry about or run after. Or maybe things are not that good, but there is nothing I can or should do about it.
