Hexagram Ten Your symbol is Hexagram ten, walking on dangerous ground. This hexagram shows its subject stepping on the tail of a tiger without being bitten. If one can do such a dangerous thing when necessary, that will bring good fortune. The first line, yang, shows a person walking on his or her usual path. No harm will come by continuing. The second line, yang, shows an ordinary person walking a level path. If this person continues with a sincere and steadfast attitude, remaining sober and dedicated, good fortune will follow. The third line, yin, shows unqualified and boisterous leaders tempting fate. A squinting, nearly-blind person and a limping person step on a tiger's tail and are bitten. This is an unfortunate position, but unqualified people should not attempt noble acts. The fourth line, yang, shows a thoughtful person stepping on the tiger's tail. Because this person maintains vigilance, the tiger does not bite and there is good fortune. The fifth line, yang, shows that although a person maintains a positive attitude, the danger is real, and due caution is advised. The sixth line, yang, explains that one must examine the path carefully and look at the overall situation, as well as the details. With proper diligence, there will be good fortune. To the reader: In all of the hexagrams, at least one of the lines may predict bad results, but that does NOT mean you are destined to get that result. The meaning is that you need to study the action-reaction to see what could go wrong. From there, focus on the positive outcomes in other lines. Study how different attitudes lead to better outcomes. Your future is in your hands. Consult the I Ching for ideas that lead to clear thinking and positive mental attitude. The I Ching teaches you to flow with changes. Create positive change from the inside through conscious living. Take the time to reflect on your attitudes and ideas.
