Hexagram 14, Great Possession

Key Questions

Given all you have, who will you be?
How can you affirm and support what is good?

Oracle

'Great Possession.
From the source, creating success.'

Great Possession means you are rich – maybe in material goods, maybe in less tangible assets, like knowledge, wisdom, power, energy, talent or relationships. Whatever form it takes, you have something real and potent in your possession.

The Chinese word for 'possession' also means 'there is', so this is 'great being' as well as 'great having': what there is and what you are, as well as what you have. The ancient form of the character shows an outstretched hand, which may hold an offering: to possess is to offer; what you have is, by definition, what you can give.

And what you have and can give is great. This is pure potential: an opening to the source, and a promise of abundant energy ready to enter into circulation and become creatively active.

A noble one ends hatred and spreads the good,
She yields to heaven and rests in her mandate.'

Changing Lines

Line 6

Good fortune,
Nothing that does not bear fruit.'


Hexagram 34, Great Vigour

Key Questions

How will you use your power?
Where do you stand?

Oracle

'Great Vigour,
Constancy bears fruit.'

With Great Vigour, you stand upright and robust, full of resilient energy. You are inspired and animated by strong purpose, and ready to wield your strength like a hero.

For this to yield results, you will need to act with steadiness and consistency – standing in your strength, but without mistaking it for omnipotence.

'Thunder dwells above heaven: Great Vigour.
A noble one treads no path that is without ritual.'

Sequence

Great Vigour follows from Hexagram 33, Retreat:
'Things cannot end with retreat, and so Great Vigour follows.'
