Line 1
‘Welcomed pushing upward,
Great good fortune.’
Line 1 – the place of beginnings, the first inklings of a hexagram’s theme, of inner stirrings and itchy feet, as often as not. Many hexagrams do not encourage acting on those itches/stirrings (take the first lines of hexagrams 34 or 43, for instance!) – but in Pushing Upward, that basic desire to move onward and upward is the heart of the whole thing, and it is welcomed.
It’s an interesting word, that ‘welcomed’ – something of a technical term for an action that is in harmony with the time. Hence it means something that receives consent, is allowed, an action that is true and loyal, and simultaneously just something that ispossible. The cosmos at large says yes to this.
Line 3
46.3 changes to Hexagram 7, the Army: marching on with purpose in mind, not stopping to reflect on the scenery or dwell on how it might have been. And the line pathway (46.3, 7.3, 8.4, 45.4) encourages the wisdom of not fixating on this empty husk, but looking beyond. The centre of life and meaning is not where it was, maybe not where you expected to find it, certainly not where you are now. So good fortune is available from looking beyond and outside your usual perspective, and just from keeping going.
Line 5
‘Constancy, good fortune.
Pushing upward step by step.’
