Hexagram Sixty Your symbol is Hexagram number 60, rules. It is better to follow the natural order, maintaining firmness as well as flexibility, than to set up rigid rules. Rules that are too strict and difficult to follow will be discarded. The first line, yang shows one who does not leave the inner courtyard of the house. This symbolizes one who knows what will succeed and what will fail. The second line, yang, shows an unfortunate person who will not leave his/her own yard to seek opportunities. One must leave his/her own yard sometimes, just as some rules must be broken sometimes. The third line, yin, shows that one must be self-regulated. If one has no standards, who is there to blame but him/herself? The fourth line, yin, shows one who attends to all his/her obligations. This person can rise above the crowds. The fifth line, yang, shows one who lives a balanced and productive life, who lives by rules and regulations that are acceptable and comfortable. This person's life is successful. The sixth line, yin, shows one who tries to abide by rules that are painful to follow. It is inauspicious, but gradually, cause for regret goes away. 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.
