Hexagram 46, Pushing Upward

Key Questions

Is this something you can commit yourself to?
Where might it take you?
What is the next step?

Oracle

'Pushing upward, creating success from the source.
Make use of seeing great people.
Do not worry.
Set forth to the south, good fortune.'

The old Chinese character for 'Pushing Upward' shows a small ladle used to measure out offerings and official salaries. It suggests a step-by-step ascent, one measure at a time. This is a vigorous, active time. Come from the source of inspiration and involve it in your work. Make good use of seeing great people, whether in the flesh or with your inner vision, to charge you with the energy to begin your ascent. Use them to inspire you with a vision of possibilities, and for information and help on how to move on upward.

Hard work and steep slopes lie ahead, but the oracle reassures you that you need not worry or doubt. Instead, set your face to the south, as the ruler does: align your initiatives with the natural order (which can be read in the stars and the compass), and set out towards warmth, light and activity.

A noble one with patient character
Builds up small things to attain the high and great.'

Changing Lines

Hexagram 11, Flow

Key Questions

How will you work with this extraordinary potential?
How can you channel the flow of energy to create harmony?

Oracle

'Flow. Small goes, great comes.
Good fortune, creating success.'

Flow is a sign of the free and full expression of tremendous creative energy. It is the name of China's most sacred mountain, Tai, which is imbued with spiritual power. The king would make great offerings at its summit to establish a flourishing, peaceful relationship with Heaven. This is a time to create harmony with the greater flow, letting its energy pour into creative manifestation, as a river flows down into a fertile valley. Pettiness is swept away downstream, and the way opens for free communication. Great things become possible. The true scale of things is revealed, dwarfing your smaller concerns. You sense the powers that surge through your life, and know how far beyond your control they are – yet you can enter into true relationship with them and participate in Flow.

'Heaven and Earth communicate: Flow.
The prince enriches and completes the way of heaven and earth,
Upholds and assists the order of heaven and earth,
To support and protect the people.'

Sequence

Flow follows from Hexagram 10, Treading:
'Treading and also Flow, and then there is peace. And so Flow follows. Flow means flowing together.'

Pair

Flow is paired and contrasted with Hexagram 12, Blocked:
'Blocked and Flow are of opposite kind.'
