Help to understand situation 34 Unchanging

[Anne777]

This was a question about a friend who got into some trouble. My question was what the situation was- whether it was just injured pride, or was he physically hurt or injured. Can anyone suggest what hexagram is 34 likely to mean in this situation? I think 34 means pride (vigour) is this correct? Or is hexagram 34 more physical? It’s about a young person.

It's energy surging upward and forward, pushing ahead, advancing. There are a lot of stubborn goats that ram their heads into hedges because they can't pause to reflect on whether it's in their best interests to keep on pushing forward. But that doesn't really answer your either/or question, does it? That kind of behavior can result in either physical injury, wounded pride, or both at the same time.

Better just give him a call.
