9. With Few, against Many…..

 


I.The oracle

 

A. Hexagram nine has more to do with the Superior man refining the outward aspect of his nature. Another variation is the idea of leaving the way of Tao and returning to it with loyal credence, in short, stay with what you know deep down in your being as right action: returning is good but try at best to be, and here comes my favorite word, “Consistent.” “Be Consistent.”

   1. You may stray from The Way, if you stop along the way, you should always find your way back, and this is all due to loyalty and understanding of The Way.
   2. Know that Success comes with being a strategic decision-maker, know which way to go? We see clouds coming from the west, will there be rain? Don’t be capricious, trust your perception.

B. The Image

  1. Wind above, Heaven below
      a) The image of The Taming Power of the Small
      b) Thus with this, we see an impending storm, do not fore stay your position of staying on the path of Tao.

II. My interpretation 

A. The main understanding with Hexagram 9 is, one must stay on the way, refining one’s integrity and basic beliefs. Stay with your first thought about various conflicts, the same can be said about clouds gathering in the western sky and moving towards your direction. First though, the expectation of rain, with this image you should withdraw and seek shelter soon. But please return to The Way.

   1. The full moon draws near, attracts danger for a woman, misfortune for a gentleman, but don’t you get carried away by these times. Remember, there is value in small accumulations before the storm, but try not to enrich yourself at your neighbor’s expense.

Although it is slightly, a time of precautions involving
the wherewith of our close associate, especially if there is a relationship
with the other half. Do not so much overwhelm grand demeanor them with your
scholarly achievements. Full moon raising – after the rain falls next time
soon. Now remember the movement after this one is hexagram 10 – conduct,
and the one before this one, is union hexagram 8–. So, what is seen here is, when
coming to meet, one must not get so much caught up with, His or Her’s, self-centered
spiritual ambitions. Work on outer appearances too.
