Fortune telling without cards. Fortune telling without cards “Ask yourself if you are happy, and you will cease to be happy” - John Stuart Mill

The Hen hexagram will bring good luck only to those who know exactly what they want in life and why. This is important because the future can only be fulfilled in one single direction, and if you try to go along several roads at the same time, the result will be exactly the same - a little bit everywhere, but overall - nowhere and nothing.

Concentration is the most important quality at this stage of life, without it all efforts are just a waste of time. Now fate provides a chance to make a sharp breakthrough forward on your life path and all you need to do is decide on the direction, and this requires concentration on what really excites you. Concentration, in this case, means not just concentration, but focusing all efforts on achieving a goal, practical actions, not daydreaming, not a passive “I would like to”, but an active one - “I do!”

Another important point now is the exercise of endurance. The situation may not unfold in the most pleasant way, but under no circumstances should you panic, much less show extreme emotions, especially depression or anger. They won't help, and will only make things worse. If for some reason you are unable to remain optimistic, then at least try to remain calm and balanced. Now a lot will depend on this. And this is indicated even by one of the symbolic names of the hexagram Hen - “stability”.

In order for the future to be positive for you, now you need to show the thinking of a strategist and try to plan everything as carefully as possible, right down to developing plans “b”, “c” and so on. Consider all the most likely scenarios so that you are prepared for various surprises. Of course, you can’t prepare for everything, but if you at least roughly know what to do in a given hypothetical situation, then it will be much easier for you to cope with the unexpected than for someone who simply hopes for the best. In this case, it is unlikely to be truly “best.”

Constancy

Consistency: success, there will be no trouble. Favorable fortune telling. It's good to go somewhere.

***

Constant commitment to the distant. Unlucky fortune telling. Nothing favorable.

4. Nine fourth.

There is no game in the fields.

5. Six fifth.

Constancy of virtue. In the case of fortune telling about a woman - happiness, about a man - misfortune.

6. Top six.

Constant commitment to distant goals. Misfortune.

***

1. Initial six.

In all books worthy of attention about success in life, you will definitely read about the need to have a big goal, a long-term perspective for your activities. But it is equally important to appreciate today, the present moment: “Be here and now.” This is often forgotten and remembered when life itself is under threat, when loved ones are being sent off to another world, or when a severe revaluation of values ​​occurs under the blow of fate. Are your distant goals blocking your real, real life from you?

2. Nine second.

You are in a post-crisis state. Now you are ready to accept a new life, without the people or things that surrounded you. Don't regret them, be constant in your inner truth, troubles are in the past.

3. Nine three.

The trait warns of a possible provocation, when you may receive an offer to betray a loved one, a colleague, or to step over moral principles in order to preserve certain benefits. Repentance will come immediately, you will suffer the same fate. Therefore, be persistent in your opinion, avoid such situations if they are difficult for you and you know that you cannot resist material temptations.

4. Nine fourth.

Now your activities may be in vain. Is it worth the effort and time?

5. Six fifth.

It turns out that virtue will not bring success to everyone in this trait: for women it brings joy, and for men it brings trouble. Men need to be more flexible and adapt to circumstances. Well, it’s not for us to judge, everything happens in life.

6. Top six.

If you continue to persist in your position in life and you are only interested in your “idea fix”, accept troubles and disappointments. Common sense and advice from the I Ching are ignored, which is unfortunate.

***

Constancy is an amazing character trait, without which it is impossible to achieve what you want. Therefore, the explanatory text of the hexagram promises success. Having patience and loyalty to your chosen business, you can safely “go somewhere”, start a new business. You want to communicate with patient people, you can talk to them rely in any situation.

Have you ever encountered another type of constancy, which can be called stubbornness, blind adherence to your idea? All conversations with such a person revolve only around his cherished desire, it overshadows everything and begins to lose all common sense. Such fanaticism begins to be perceived by others as a mental illness (in a very severe case). There is no desire to communicate with such a “passionate” person, much less help him in implementing his plans. Does your behavior now resemble all of the above?

Love life as it is at the moment. Achieving excellence is difficult if you don't appreciate what's in your hands. One can argue which is better: “A bird in the hands or a pie in the sky”? These philosophical reflections relate to the character traits of each individual. But we are considering the opinion on this matter of the most ancient predictive teaching, and it claims that focusing on distant, unrealistic dreams and destructive desires now will lead to losses and troubles. This is your present situation, and this advice of the I Ching should be followed.

Family and love relationships have never been considered happy if the couple did not have mutual constancy and fidelity. In all good fairy tales, the standard of luck is: “They lived happily ever after and died on the same day.” A happy marriage has no time limits, only the end of life completes their marriage. But don't hold on to marriage for marriage's sake. Psychologists know that it is easier for a woman to abandon an outdated relationship, she endures difficulties more easily, while a man faces change more difficultly, often experiences fear, and clings with all his might to his family and to the familiar. In the fifth line we read: “For a woman (in constancy) - happiness, for a man - unhappiness.” It can be understood that the hexagram predicts that a woman can do without changes for now, but a man can decide on them. As an astrologer, I advise you to turn to astrology to choose the right time for upcoming changes.

The symbol is not entirely favorable; it warns that the time has come is not suitable for starting new things.

Trying to move in two directions at the present time, you are torn apart. Everything will end well if you show restraint. Patience and refusal to change will help you solve your problem.

Don’t try to change the course of things; better understand your intentions and future plans. To do this, take a good inventory of your goals.

Your wish will come true, just keep calm and understand yourself.

Interpretation of the hexagram in the translation of the canonical text of the Book of Changes

Read the translation of the canonical text, perhaps you will have your own associations in the interpretation of the thirty-second hexagram.

[Accomplishment; durability is favorable. There will be no blasphemy.

It's good to have somewhere to go]

I. At the beginning there is six.

Deepening into consistency.

- Resilience is unfortunate.

Nothing favorable.

II. Nine second.

- Repentance will disappear.

III. Nine three.

You will not be constant in your virtues; maybe,

You will find yourself in an awkward position with them. Durability - unfortunately.

IV. Nine fourth.

There is no game in the field.

V. Six fifth.

You will be constant in your virtues.

Fortitude! For the wife - happiness. For the husband it is a misfortune.

VI. There's a six at the top.

(If) Disturbed constancy.

32. You are torn in half, chasing two birds with one stone at once. If you have enough mental strength, then perhaps you will catch them. There is no need to strive for change. A little more patience - and your wish will come true! It will be very useful to review the goals and objectives of internal contradictions. Throw away all the unnecessary things and keep the real values. Not the best time to start.

33. If you restrain yourself a little, it turns out that this is exactly what was missing for complete victory. Assertiveness in this situation can only do harm. The hexagram speaks about the benefits at this time of all undertakings with rest and entertainment, during which you can think through plans for future achievements. But you don’t need to start implementing them right away; it’s better to wait until the end of the period of uncertainty. Now is the time for relaxation and meditation.

34. Now you want to be ahead by hook or by crook. But during this period, it is the first position that will be the least successful for you. It’s worth restraining your desire to go over people’s heads: they may not just not like it - they may take action. Now is the time for tact and diplomacy in relationships. Ambition is a good character trait, but only in combination with courtesy. Behave more modestly, and your wish will immediately come true. Try to find a middle ground in this situation.

35. Good luck is already approaching you! Following it comes recognition and respect - after all, you deserve it. Even greater respect will follow. Your lucky star shines brightly for you without leaving the sky. Trust her and continue on your way. Don’t let the delay in fulfilling your wish upset you, it will still come true. On the way, you will meet a person whom you have not seen for a very long time. Spending money should not be too large - then you will realize that it only brought benefits.

36. Now luck does not leave you, but this is not a reason to become arrogant, especially since the situation is gradually starting to turn the other way. Now you have to think it over and calculate everything, and only then take some serious action.

Attention and attention again! You will have to give up love adventures. It still seems to others that you are the darling of fortune, and therefore they may see the reasons for your current actions in a distorted light. Don't worry too much, everything will soon return to normal. Now is not the time for wish fulfillment. Take care of your finances.

37. Trust your intuition. Now is the time to speak not to the mind, but to the heart. It is this that pulls you to where happiness and prosperity await. Wishes will come true, help will come from strangers. Perhaps you envy someone or something and regret that fate did not treat you as generously as others. But you will soon see that this is not the case at all. Enjoy being with your family, communicating with relatives and friends, and spending time with friends.

38. Disharmony has come into life. It seems as if the whole world is against you, nagging and evil words rain down in a hail - in such a situation, even kind words can cause resentment and irritation. But you will have to pull yourself together, calm down and wait for improvement, especially since it is already almost on your doorstep. Now it will be very difficult to find like-minded people. And you waste a lot of nerves on one lady. You just need to watch your words and breathe evenly. You shouldn't take on new endeavors. You are currently involved in many things, perhaps even from different fields. But think: are they really that important to you and are they in your area of ​​interest?

39. One of the unfavorable combinations. The faster you run, the more effort you put in, the more your feet will sink into the ground. Nobody knows why this happens. Fortune left, slamming the door behind her. Now we need to go into self-education, science, and find peace in them. Most likely, your friends will help you soon. It is from them that you will find the necessary support. Be very careful with your funds; you should count them more carefully so as not to end up with empty pockets.

40. The long period of troubles and worries is over. In career matters, you have again begun to experience success. Now is the time for decisive action, since this is what will give the greatest results. The old wish will come true, but the time for a new wish will come a little later. You will be able to make new friends. The journey you undertake will bring you untold pleasure and satisfaction. Now is the best time to make money.

41. Today you give something to other people - tomorrow fate will return everything to you a hundredfold. Maybe you doubt whether you are spending too much, or whether you are giving away your savings in vain. But you will soon realize that you did everything right. And you will not only not be at a loss, but quite the opposite. An excellent period for reflection, intellectual work and making new plans. Your wishes will come true, and even to a greater extent than you could expect.

42. The time when fortune smiles especially kindly on outstanding people. But even if you do not consider yourself one of those, it is favorable for you too. Everything planned will be done, everything done will be paid for. You can even provide help to those who need it. Carrying out instructions from your superiors will benefit not only the common cause, but also you personally. Wait for lucrative offers, they are currently being considered. A superior person will have a hand in making your wish come true. Very soon you will be able (albeit very unexpectedly) to improve your financial situation.

43. Now luck is on your side, but your stubbornness can make you make a stupid mistake, and

those who helped you may turn their backs. You will have to take the first step towards reconciliation yourself and be less stubborn. It is likely that you will develop a strong feeling for a person who was not very pleasant to you before, and this will greatly affect your behavior. You should not take risks in gambling.

44. The most important thing at this moment in life is restraint in emotions. Pay attention to the changes that will occur in your interactions with people; do not be as categorical in your assessments as you would like. Be more lenient. Desires will not be rushed to come true. Try to be more economical in your spending. Be prepared for the fact that the time will soon come when not entirely favorable events will enter your life.

45. All efforts made will find worthy completion and reward. Higher powers will help you communicate with people, thanks to which new connections will be formed, as if by themselves, which will somehow have a beneficial effect on your life. All previous efforts will also show good results. There is a certain woman in your environment who is trying to get in your way and prevent you from realizing your hopes. But your desires will not find obstacles in her face and will be successfully fulfilled.

46. ​​For a long time you tried to put things in order - now the time has come to reap a generous harvest of your labors. If you remain conscientious about your work for some time and show persistence, then well-deserved recognition and praise will find your hero. Now is not the time to wait, the time has come for decisive action. Not only sound thoughts will help you, but also intuition - together they will bring the fulfillment of your desire closer. And what you are now thinking hard about, if realized, will bring good profit.

47. One of the four most unfavorable combinations. A period of calm and inaction ensued. Waiting time. And my thoughts are not clear enough now to act. Help will come from someone from your environment, a person in a high position. His advice will be worth its weight in gold for you. Confidence in your own strength may leave you, but this is not a reason to give up. The period of depression will end, and everything will sparkle again.

48. Even if you think that things could be going better, do not refuse help to someone who asks for it. Then you will be convinced that your actions were not in vain. It is unlikely that anyone will appreciate your talents and abilities; your bosses will not notice your efforts. This is not pleasant, but you will have to be patient for a while. Now only minor desires can be fulfilled; the time for major achievements has not yet come. However, the financial side of life should not upset you - this area is under control.

49. Everything around is moving and flashing, some changes are constantly happening. All this should not puzzle you: everything is going right, as you will see when you begin to receive positive results in full force soon, bringing with you new perspectives, plans that will be implemented in new, positive conditions. You'll have to adjust your old plans, you'll have to go somewhere you never dreamed of going. In all games you have to be very lucky.

50. If you are not afraid of the role of a leader, then circumstances will develop for you in the most favorable way. Someone will be against this state of affairs; your successes will only irritate them. You can only ignore such people. But assess your strengths sensibly, do not take on what you cannot do. The number 3 will play a big role in your relationships with people. If the three of you decide to do something together, success will be guaranteed. The wish will come true, although not at all in the way you expect. Please note that lately you have begun to pay too much attention to your hobby.

51. You are already quite close to the successful completion of your business, but someone is persistently trying to prevent you from doing so. Don't worry. What you are pursuing with such persistence will not be your cherished dream at all. This is a misleading result. Therefore, you can give way to a spiteful critic, let him enjoy his victory, which may well turn into defeat. Soon an unexpected unpleasant event will happen in your circle, which in the meantime will not have any influence on you. A very good time to relax. If events, as it seems to you, are not turning out the way you would like, calm down: you cannot change anything now. All that remains is to enjoy your vacation and wait for the time when fate chooses you as its favorite. And that time is just around the corner.

52. The state of affairs does not inspire optimism? Nevertheless, now is the time to leave everything as it is, take a deep breath of fresh air, and only then start working on the problems again. If trips or business trips are planned, try with all your might to cancel them. Accept the situation as it is and calmly begin to think about ways to solve the problem. You will overcome all difficulties, all envious people and ill-wishers will gnaw at your elbows, because victory will remain yours. The main thing is not to hang your nose. Your wishes will come true if you put all your efforts into it.

53. You will be successful if you begin to look at your feet and think about every step you take towards your goal. Don't get ahead of things; maybe it's worth slowing down a little. Thoughtfulness and thoroughness are synonyms for the word success at this moment in your life. The tortoise has just as much chance of winning over the long haul as the hare. Now your path has just begun, but it should lead to the fulfillment of your desire. The reward will be a significant improvement in your financial situation.

54. You will have to be very careful in all areas of life, even in relation to relationships with the opposite sex. Everything that happens in your life should be perceived calmly and calmly. Otherwise you will be in trouble. The wish is in no hurry to come true. Now we need to think and wait. However, your income will increase, although your expenses will not be so high. It is worth devoting time to preparing for favorable changes. They are already waiting for their time to come.

55. Time to gather what has been sown. The star of happiness is shining above you at this time. Its light falls on everything you take up. Therefore, success accompanies you in everything, things are moving smoothly, in the future it will be even better, even if you do not believe that this can happen. Do not forget that whoever has the information controls the situation. This phrase should become your life credo during this period. The money earned should be partially used to create some kind of untouchable amount. Businesses related to agriculture, show business and art will be especially successful. Despite absolute success in everything, this time does not promise you the fulfillment of your desires.

56. You have all the trump cards in your hands to win in business. If a business trip or business trip is planned, then most likely it will end in success. Now your ambition is very heightened, so you will have to be very careful in your actions and words in order to avoid offending others. If you do not make high demands on your desires, they will come true. Currently, the memory of a very unpleasant event is making you nervous. It’s worth letting these thoughts go free and never returning to them again.

57. Everything seems confusing and incomprehensible, so it is impossible to understand matters and assess the actual state of affairs. However, you shouldn’t assess everything as gloomily as you see it. Someone from your environment will show you the right path to follow. You will soon realize that the choice was made correctly. After five months, fate will begin to smile on you again. Something is preventing your desires from coming true. But a woman will help you cope with this. Someone will try to persuade you to do something that you don't like at all. You should trust your intuition and do everything at your own discretion, without giving in to persuasion.

58. Now you are depressed, but soon happiness will illuminate your face and sadness will no longer darken it. This combination has to do with the organs of speech, so listen to the advice that a friend can give you; You yourself say only good things about people. If you don’t have a kind word for someone, then it’s better to remain silent. Favorable period for trade relations. Don’t worry or be nervous about what you yourself cannot change. Now you must first of all calm down and wait for the speedy approach of happiness and joy.

59. The long black streak of life is over, and it is being replaced by a long-awaited white streak. On this strip you will find everything you have been craving and striving for for so long. There is a journey ahead of you, so there is no need to spend money too actively now. Almost all planned activities, especially if they relate to science, production or love, will have brilliant results. During this period, you have every chance to become a leader. The desire is already beginning to come true, but for complete fulfillment you should not stop working on achieving it.

60. The long-awaited time has come when you can act actively. Nevertheless, there is no need to abandon caution and prudence - they will never be superfluous. You should not blindly accept the first offer made to you. Perhaps it will be done today, perhaps a little later. See if it will be as profitable as it seems at first glance. The same recommendations can be given regarding friendship and love. Those wishes in which you do not want to receive a star from the sky will definitely come true. Now it’s worth holding off on trips and travel. You should not try to harm someone, otherwise you will end up setting a trap for yourself.

61. To achieve positive results at work, it is better to act as a well-coordinated team. Do not overestimate your abilities - both physical and mental - otherwise you will become known as an arrogant fool, and this in turn will be a strong obstacle on your way. Keep yourself within limits. Reasonable wishes will definitely come true. Your efforts and talents will be appreciated by your superiors. This will be another step towards your successful advancement to the top.

62. Possible disappointment in your loved one. But we shouldn’t make a tragedy out of this. You missed the best time and the best situation to move towards your cherished goal. Nevertheless, she was not the last and the next case will soon arise. Now is the time to make good money, but travel should be postponed until better times. Don’t waste your time on trifles - you shouldn’t waste your attention on little things that humiliate you.

In a quarrel with any person, it is necessary to resort to the help of a third party. His mediation will help achieve a positive result. But don’t try to repeat past successes - set new goals for yourself. If you understand this advice correctly, then it won’t be a matter of reward; all your wishes will come true at once. There is no need to throw all your energy into a new assignment; there will be no success there. If your desire is very specific, then it will come true, even with a slight delay.

63. Success in all matters has not yet arrived, but is already standing outside your door. The time has not yet come for decisive action. The improvement in circumstances will be more noticeable day by day if every step you take is thought out. The wish will come true soon. You are looking forward to one of the happiest periods of your life.

32 Hexagram I-Ching

Han (Persistence): continue in the same spirit; constant, stable, measured; resistance, endurance, durability; self-renewal; ordinary, habitual; widespread everywhere, universal; moon before full moon. The hieroglyph depicts a heart and a boat between two shores, denoting a journey through the sea of ​​life.

Accomplishment. Favorable fortitude.
There will be no blasphemy.
It’s good to have somewhere to perform.

This is the time to continue what you started, to steadfastly adhere to the chosen path and your principles. Consistency, regularity and stability are what you need now. Insist on your lifestyle and the things you do. Have a clear plan or direction. Consistently implement your plans. This is the path of spouses whose strong bond only strengthens over time. Stick to established principles. Let the completion of one action be the beginning of the next. The sun and moon move across the sky, their light remains unchanged. A wise person sticks to the chosen path, so the world of people can change and improve. By contemplating the permanence of things, you will see their deeper purpose.

Already in the previous hexagram, when we talked about the fifth feature, the theme of constancy emerged. If interaction were not subject to some specific and permanent inviolable and constant laws, then it could not acquire its quality of unity. Therefore, as a particular moment of the previous process, a situation called constancy is considered. When transferred to the symbolism of the family, this is the constancy of marriage, which was discussed in the previous hexagram when considering it as a whole. However, constancy has as its goal preparation for further human activity. Therefore, here we must keep in mind not only the constancy itself, but also the future exit to the outside. This state is symbolized by the very image of the trigrams that make up this hexagram. At the bottom there is a trigram, which has the quality of penetration, even interpenetration. This indicates what was acquired as a result of interaction at the previous stage. The upper trigram, which denotes going outside, lightning, which has as its quality active activity, i.e. exit to the outside, which manifests itself in this vigorous activity. But it is precisely in this activity that it is necessary to especially strictly observe the law of constancy.

Outer and Inner worlds: Thunder and Wind

Internal penetration and external stimulation constantly renew each other.

Hidden opportunity: 43 (Exit)

Sustained coherence contains the hidden possibility of clear and decisive action.

Subsequence

The journey of a husband and wife must be long. Knowing this allows you to enjoy consistency.

Definition

Consistency means endurance.

Symbol

Thunder and wind. Consistency.
A noble person encourages stability and avoids instability.

Hexagram lines

Line 1

Six first

Deeper Constancy. Resilience is unfortunate.
Nothing favorable.

You are too closed in on yourself. Self-absorption prevents you from looking at things from a different perspective. Persistence will only lead you to a dead end. Change your attitude towards what is happening.

In the previous situation, the most important thing to pay attention to was that there was interaction. Here, on the contrary, the moment of immobility is emphasized. But this immobility, as indicated in the general introduction, should not be closed exclusively in itself. If the lower trigram expresses the inner world, then the first line expresses the greatest depths of this inner life, those depths in which a person is closed exclusively in himself. Therefore, this position is a symbol of precisely that closed stay within oneself, the persistent observance of which can only lead to an unfavorable outcome.

Line 2

Nine second

Repentance will disappear.

Here, apparently, the main aphorism is lost, and only a favorable fortune-telling conclusion remains (In the philological translation, the text was spoiled, and in all versions of the modern “Book of Changes” it is given exactly in this form.)

Line 3

Nine three

You will not be constant in your virtues.
Or maybe you will find yourself in an awkward position with them.
Durability - unfortunately.

You are not in virtue. The loss of constancy in itself is not terrible - only persistence in one’s mistakes can lead to regret. Heed this warning.

The third position, which represents a transition to external activity, in a situation where we are talking about maintaining constancy in external activity, can have the bad consequence of violating advice, i.e. loss of one’s permanence—staying steadfastly in place.

Line 4

Nine fourth

There is no game in the field.

There is nothing favorable for you here. Don't stay put. Try to get out of the situation unnoticed.

One of the necessary qualities of a hunter, which is absolutely necessary for him, is endurance and the ability to wait. Only then can he expect to get game while hunting. In the fourth position, which is the first in the trigram denoting action, it is constancy, i.e. endurance may be lost. In hunter's language, this can mean an unsuccessful hunt. Every chance here is that a person may lose his constancy during the first transition to real activity.

Line 5

Six fifth

You will be constant in your virtues.
Persistence.
For the wife - happiness.
For the husband - misfortune.

You have achieved consistency. Now you have a choice. If you choose to act like a woman, the way will be open. If you choose the masculine way of acting (that is, active and aggressive external activity), then the path will be closed.

If in the third position we were talking about the loss of constancy, then in the fifth position, which is the most intense identification of this situation, constancy has been achieved and exists in its entirety. But, from the point of view of the Chinese tradition, constancy and staying in one place in the house are primarily the activities of the wife, while the husband is called to act outside.

Line 6

There's a six at the top

Broken consistency.
Misfortune.

The end of one life situation and the transition to the next imply a violation of the main quality - constancy. However, your goal is the harmony of constancy and active activity, so the outcome is unfavorable. Try to find out what is bothering you and look for a solution in the spiritual world.

Since the sixth position represents the end of a given situation and the transition to the next, since here is the main quality characterized in this hexagram, i.e. constancy is broken. But this violation, in fact, should not go along the line of loss of constancy, for, as was said at the beginning of this hexagram, constancy must be observed in the most active activity. Therefore, the loss of permanence that the text speaks of can only lead to an unfavorable outcome.
