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.

'Fire dwells above heaven: Great Possession.
A noble one ends hatred and spreads the good,
She yields to heaven and rests in her mandate.'

Sequence

Great Possession follows from Hexagram 13, People in Harmony:
'Reaching out to people in harmony means beings truly return home, and so Great Possession follows.'

Hexagram 32, Lasting

Key Questions

What inspiration are you making real in your daily life?
How can you continue on the same path, even as you adapt?
Who will you become by persevering in this?

Oracle

'Lasting, creating success.
Not a mistake.
Constancy bears fruit,
Fruitful to have a direction to go.'

Whatever becomes part of the heart's circling journey will last. We bind things – influences, ideas, people – into the fabric of our lives by integrating them into the daily round of our way of living, so that they are carried with us through change.

This is an active creative process, keeping the channels always open for exchange between inspiration and reality. Lasting tirelessly on your own path, whatever landscapes it travels through, is not a mistake.

What lasts bears fruit, not because you 'arrive' at some final destination, but because through all the changes you persevere in your intent and inspiration, and you are always finding ways to make it real.

Image

'Thunder and wind: Lasting.
A noble one stands firm and does not change his bearings.'

Sequence

Lasting follows from Hexagram 31, Influence:
'The way of husband and wife cannot fail to endure, and so Lasting follows.
Lasting means enduring.'
