31
Hexagram 31, Influence
how strange that we only have 1 week left for June to be over and this Hexagam came to me. i was thinking that i should not of asked the ICHING a question on timing but it came to Wooing.
was that a wrong question to ask?
:bows:
Hm... there is one, but I don't think it's very good. Anyway, the I Ching is nice and simple - the trick is becoming so simple-minded that you can understand it .I would like to think one day there would be one of those big yellow books in the bookstores that sAy ICHING for Dummies. Something for those who cannot totally translate in English the words from the Hexagams in English.
Oh yes, it is a lovely, romantic hexagram, without question! Very much the hexagram for falling in love - amongst other meanings, of course, but that's certainly one of them.that said...I do appreciate Hiliary for commenting on this thread, although I dont understand what you said HIll, I will tell you what i have found out about this wonderful Hexagram of 31 which means "universal," "general," and in a figurative sense "to stimulate." I feel that it is a Great Hexagram to have in asking for when love/romance/and every single crazy thing that comes with it, will arrive?
Yes - the idea is that ken, the mountain, is the youngest son, the perfect match to tui, lake, the youngest daughter.I can only make out a few points and trying to understand Hilary. Please advise.
The upper trigram is Tui, the Joyous;
the lower is Kên, Keeping still.
somthing about the attraction between the sexes is represented in these two triagrams, so that sounds nice.
Images like this are tricky for (straight) women, true. But then if you think about it, in the majority of readings when someone receives this hexagram, it's not going to be literally about marriage. So you have to ask yourself what that imagery could represent in simpler, more general terms. What does a man do when he takes a wife? And then how is that something you could do?THE JUDGMENT
Influence. Success. Perseverance furthers. To take a maiden to wife brings good fortune. (This I dont understand)
Yes, that's the idea.The weak element is above, the strong below; hence their powers attract each
other, so that they unite. This brings about success, for all success depends on
the effect of mutual attraction.
(mutual attraction between me and the other man?)
I suppose so, yes. Though personally I don't find this part of Wilhelm's interpretation hugely helpful.By keeping still within while experiencing joy without, one can prevent the joy from going to excess and hold it within proper bounds.
(Practice patience and restraint, dont go too fast, stay calm, "Chill"? )
...and I have different ideas as to what 'perseverance furthers'/ 'constancy bears fruit' means here. I think it's pointing towards hexagram 32, and a reminder that you're going to need more than just romance and falling head over heels, also the willingness to be there through thick and thin.This is the meaning of the added admonition, "Perseverance furthers," for it is perseverance that makes the difference between seduction and courtship;
Right - so the lines (about the parts of the body) don't apply.The rest of this pertains to elements of the body (the neck, the thighs) I dont fully understand this. I had Hex 31 not changing.
...
I dont know what the Hexagram indicates, as i am still searching for its definition in English terms. but i know the timing is in June. hahaha and only 1 week away? WOW
...
Hello Amy. How do you figure out that it's in June? I'm keen to learn how to read timing within the Yi.

Hexagram of time
The month (Jan etc) is the one in which the full moon happens, so it varies from year to year.
The moon weeks start with the left hexagram, the Hou, until first quarter. Then the 2nd, DaFu, from 1st quarter until full moon. The 3d, Qing, from full moon to last quarter, and the 4th, Gong, from last quarter to new moon.
The last row, the Bi or monarch, is the hexagram which reigns over the whole moon, from new moon to the next new moon.
Every day of a moon-week is one line of that hexagram, but the day of new moon, full moon or quarter moon has no line. Some weeks are a day longer, others shorter, depending on the hour of new moon etc., but then it is best to divide the time more or less. In old times, people did not reckon with exact hours, they reckoned with days and weeks.
