Hexagram Thirty Your symbol is Hexagram 30, fiery intelligence. When one possesses extreme brilliance it is better to be docile like a cow, rather than try to dazzle others. Line one, yang, shows one struck with inspiration, who goes forward with confused, unsteady steps. Guided by intuition, this person is blameless and makes no mistakes. Line two, yin, shows an auspiciously colored yellow room. The color yellow suggests that balance will come. Line three, yang, shows the fiery brilliance declining, like the setting sun. Instead of celebrating the natural cycles of dark and light, one laments like a feeble old man. This is unfortunate. Line four, yang, shows a self-centered person bursting upon the scene, full of his/her own ideas and brilliance. Such an abrupt show of self-indulgence will be rejected by everyone. Line five, yin, in a weakened position, shows the tears of humiliation. The subject of this line is strengthened by tears of repentance. There will be good fortune. Line six, yang, shows a king on a campaign to restore order to the countryside. He arrests the leaders of the rebels, but not the followers who are innocent. The king, through his brilliance, protects his faithful subjects. He does not punish people needlessly. 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.
