Line interpretation:
Line 1 (bottom line)
Every family needs some guidance in order to succeed. At the start of any activity or project that requires the exercise of authority, it is vital to exercise authority firmly and evenly. This may cause problems in the beginning, but it the only way create a stable situation that can lead to positive outcomes. Dissatisfaction soon disappears, and everything begins to improve if kindness remains an element of power. Leading and educating others requires that you embody both integrity and consistency. Another aspect of this changing line has to do with teaching how not to spoil children. Build a family wisely, and everything will be fine. In a family or team, you owe it to those for whom you are responsible to adequately respond to their egos - including their hysterical moods and other emotional demands - while maintaining a state of inner calm. If you are gentle with a child who scratches furniture once, can you blame the child for doing it again? If you succumb to childish demands, sooner or later you will be faced with the need to reform an erroneous swindler, and this is not an easy task.
You need to look after the needs of your family. Manage your home like an attentive housewife. Your perseverance in care will be appropriate for the whole family. Now is the time to calmly limit your duties. Thus, everything will flourish.
Corrective measures should be firm, but not excessive—although it is better for them to be too firm than too weak. While it's important not to overestimate those at your disposal, it's also important not to push too hard on them when something goes wrong. Excessive seriousness will cause further regret. better to have hard borders within which family members are allowed freedom of movement.
Skillful frugality within the family contributes to successful strengthening. Balancing income and expenses brings great luck.
In a position of authority, family life is conducive to being loving and trustworthy, not bold and inconsistent. For example, when parents or leaders choose love as the center of family life, the whole world is ready to respond with goodwill.
Line 6 (top line)
You are confident and your efforts command respect. This is a time of reward and recognition. Remember that the leader of a circle of influence—a group of friends, teammates, or family—is responsible for setting a good example. It is through the development of your own character that you influence others and create order.
There is some level of alienation. For example, when siblings get married, they move away as their devotion goes to new families. While they will remain close enough to deal with problems and share minor interests, they will not be able to pursue big projects together. Simply put, when people drift away—even for the most natural reasons—their points of view, values, and interests diverge.
Different natures and interests bring opposition into the world of human affairs. If the opposition drifts in alienation and enmity, then it does not give good results. But when opposition takes the form of healthy competition, or when it is only part of the natural order of things and is recognized as such, relationship success is still possible.
When divergent interests make a situation seem stagnant or unhelpful, remember that there are always creative possibilities inherent in polarity. One of them recalls the interaction of opposites, yin and yang, which is fundamental to life itself. And, as the Tao symbol illustrates, yin and yang have the seed of another living within them.
When opposition has its roots in matters of principle, stick to your integrity and individuality. Let go of vulgar people who don't share your values. For both individuals and companies, one of the indicators of growth is the quality of competition.
Line interpretation:
Line 1 (bottom line)
Trying to correct rifts caused by small misunderstandings can lead to situations similar to those of a man whose horse has run away from the barn. If a person runs after a horse in a futile attempt to capture him, the horse runs faster and further. But if the man just comes home, the matter will be settled quite easily, because the horse will return to the barn when he is hungry or thirsty. Let go and resolve petty disputes; and let the other person come back on its own. Going over the edge in petty disputes can lead you to further improve your goal, but make the reconciliation process more difficult. Caution justified against negative people who may have imposed themselves on you, perhaps their appearance in your life is an accidental misunderstanding. In this case, active intervention is likely to generate hostility and cause more problems. The best course of action for now is to just endure them until they eventually go away on their own.
This is a difficult time to meet people in your circle with whom you have misunderstandings. However, if you have a chance to meet "by chance", there may be an opportunity to compromise, provided that there is an inner closeness between you. This can only happen if you let go of distrust and allow yourself to be open to the other's feelings.
This is Murphy's Law line: "Everything that could go wrong, went wrong." Sometimes it may seem that the universe is against you, but when the opposition to progress reaches its climax, a discovery soon happens. When luck is out, the best strategy might be to team up with someone whose luck is better than yours right now. With the right attitude and perseverance, luck eventually returns.
If you find yourself in a group of people with whom you have little in common, the seeds of opposition can turn into personal isolation. In such circumstances, the ideal solution is to find someone with whom you share deep interests and whom you can trust. Through the acquisition good friend or partner's internal opposition can be overcome.
When someone with sincere intentions seems against you at first, look deeper. Perhaps you have misjudged this person, or that you have somehow made a mistake in your own views or behavior. In this world sincere people should meet openly: how can that be a mistake?
Line 6 (top line)
Alienation can arise from the inability to clearly perceive the world. Overly defensive people often attribute sinister motives to others, even to those who would be their friends. This kind of thinking leads to isolation. All that is needed to reverse this cycle is to observe the world more closely, without prejudice, and to be honest about possible mistakes in relation to oneself. This will lead to an increase in self-esteem, which can damage the very root of the problem. Those who think well of others tend to feel good about themselves, and vice versa.
The previous symbol described the work of a person in the outside world, but now the situation has changed, and it is time to completely reduce the activity to the scale of the family.
Hexagram 37 is the interpretation of domestic communication and home arrangement, as well as the interpretation of the self-improvement of the ruler of the house - a woman on whom order depends. According to the book of fate, it is the representative of the weaker sex that has the leading meaning in the family, which means that attention should be paid to her character in the symbol.
Hexagram 37, Jia-ren, Close (Home, Family, Clan, Genus).
- XUN (WIND) FROM ABOVE. SMOOTHNESS. ELDEST DAUGHTER. SOUTHEAST. HIP.
- LEE (FIRE) FROM BELOW. CLARITY. ELDEST DAUGHTER. SOUTH. EYE.
Stick together, close-knit group; adapt, nourish, support.
Favorable woman stamina.
The outer trigram of the symbol is distinguished by the understanding of accidents, which are represented as Insight and Refinement. The inner world is characterized by the trigram of Clarity, which speaks of the process of creating a family and relationships with loved ones. In this way, the pictogram says that if it is possible to predict the formation of a happy married couple in advance, then the very family life determine only unexpected turns.
According to Chinese traditions, the family is always bound by bonds of mutual feelings and is closely related to the concept of the clan. People can not only live but also work together, so the common space must be carefully analyzed.
Hexagram 37, Jia-ren, Close ones, predicts happiness and enlightenment from the feminine Yin principle, which changes internal problems. The masculine principle is responsible for external interactions. Their competent synthesis reflects the whole path of the greatness of the Earth and Heaven.
Now light and a sense of warmth are beginning to spread throughout the house. A person needs to take care of many things despite the complexity of all relationships. According to the Chinese book, only sincere and frank words can help establish contacts.
Characteristics of Yao according to Zhou Gong
- Nine at the beginning. The family is isolated as an independent unit. Past disappointment melts away. Try not to disclose internal scandals and remember that every relationship has its own problems. Easy success is not possible, so force others to do everything for a full victory despite possible reciprocal irritation.
- Second six. A woman should not follow whims. If you leave now with fears, then you can return with a victory. Try not to become a black sheep in the family. Focus on the main responsibilities and forget about impulsive desires.
- Nine third. Passions flare up. Children's games can lead to disaster. The Chinese Book of Changes explains the meaning of this Yao through the image of a girl who, after maturity, must find a husband. The one who grew up in poverty suffers less than the wealthy family. Tell those who do not work that they are lazy, otherwise things will not get off the ground.
- Fourth six. The woman becomes the treasure of the family. It is impossible to repay the mother's care and love even in conditions of constant joy. Soon everyone will appreciate the man who maintains order in the house with the help of ordinary things.
- Nine fifth. Get rid of fear. The approach to the family resembles that of a king. The wisdom of a mother lies in the healthy raising of children. At first, a person thinks about the best performance of his work, but in the collective work he encourages others.
- top nine. The work deserves respect. Hard work brings benefits and puts a person ahead of the rest. Blessings will go to those who have enough good deeds.
Detailed meaning of the hexagram
- First, the individual completely dissolves within the framework of his own family, closes on it. It should be so, so there will be no remorse. It's time to start building a home and educating the younger generation, which will help you get out of the black streak of social life.
- Mistress, i.e. wife and mother, is now busy with family needs, first of all, with the issue of food. This is also a kind of closed activity that does not require sharp attacks or following the leader. All that is needed is general fortitude leading to happiness. The meaning of hexagram 37 in this position is the cessation of the struggle with outside world. Try not to spend finances on issues that are not related to everyday life.
- Actions within the home require a certain responsibility for the family, if you want to manage it for real. You also need to show severity in time in actions and words, but you should not be too tough. A strict strategy can be perceived negatively, but it is precisely this strategy that ultimately allows the subject to lead the whole family along the path of conscious and successful development.
If everyone in marriage will be self-willed in actions and show licentiousness, regret cannot be avoided. General discussion of family matters requires patience and mutual respect. Reconciliation and concessions help to create an atmosphere of harmony, peace and contentment. Children and girls should be especially carefully watched, who need to develop a sense of tact and modesty in order to avoid disorder in the house. - The multidimensional study of the pictogram says that the right activity under the guidance of the head of the family ensures prosperity in the house. A person is on the right path, so great happiness is not far off. The fourth line predicts a good road for the family, its public recognition. Good relations between relatives will also be restored. Through a family business, success can also be achieved with additional support.
- Now the process of waiting for blessings and gifts from high-ranking persons seems unnatural, since you need to go as far as possible into family affairs. Of course, some may like favors from powerful people, but this leads to the interests of the public sphere, which in itself is disharmonious with the current situation. Therefore, achieving happiness is possible only through indifference towards “meeting the king”. Perhaps the appearance of unexpected guests who need to pay attention and time, but the efforts will not be in vain.
- Rigidity is once again becoming a necessary feature of the household manager, Yijing says. The book of changes determines the interpretation of the sixth line by the need to possess the truth. Cruelty is completely inappropriate here, since it is associated with a lack of truthfulness. As a result, a person expects happiness and prosperity in many endeavors. Good luck will come to stubborn people and owners of professional talents.
Extended interpretation of the sign
Now luck smiles at a person, but he is not destined to cope with the implementation of ideas. And the thing is that success directly depends on other people, so it is so important to take their advice and support in fulfilling desires. A full study of the symbol shows that there is no need to leave now. native land, so business trips or travel should be abandoned. Accumulate strength at home and hurry to carry out plans related to friends or family. Due attention to household chores and the solution of money matters guarantee prosperity and harmony.
This life segment is beautiful because the calm and peaceful aspirations of the soul are combined with the spirit of good luck, as well as with the fruitful results of friendly and family communication. With regard to avoiding activity in business and work, for a man this is a more difficult decision, since taking care of the house does not always give recognition in society and satisfy ambition.
However, now is a favorable time: everyone is able to find themselves in family joys. However, the hexagram is more successful for women. Therefore, adaptation to environment wears more Yin, i.e. passive character. Flexibility, kindness, compliance and sensitivity help to adapt to the current situation in the outside world.
The decoding of the pictogram shows that adversity in the professional field remains invisible due to the approval of loved ones. Now it is more useful to create a financial rear, with the help of which it will be possible to conduct a new business in the future.
Remember that a successful person always prepares the conditions for action in advance. It is also useful to hold activities that will help strengthen collective bonds at work. Turn your business into an organization with a family level of trust, and it will pay off.
This symbol does not guarantee a peaceful existence in the family. Lack of confidence in the future, irritability and conflicts are found in almost every house with several generations and a small common territory. The situation can be easily resolved if you pay attention not to material, but to moral problems.
Create comfort in the house at the expense of warmth and cultivate respect for the elders in the family. As practice shows, the 37th hexagram, the expanded interpretation of which boils down to the improvement of life, advises even unmarried people to move on to creating a family nest.
Changes in the home hierarchy may not please all family members, but right now consistency in decisions is required. Look at any situation from a perspective rather than a momentary convenience. A clear line of conduct in the house guarantees results. But at the same time, you don’t need to completely move away from friends and colleagues, be a good diplomat. Rest from duties at home and at work is also necessary.

General interpretation according to Y. Shutsky
Departure from the wide outward manifestation, which was characterized in the previous hexagram, leads to a situation in which a person is limited to activities within only his family. He is completely occupied only with his household. Therefore, the domestic environment is considered here.
However, it should not be forgotten that the arrangement of the house, which is based on the improvement of the steward in ancient China, as, for example, reflected in the "Great Teaching" ("Daxue"), is the basis for putting the whole world in order.
In the family, a woman plays a significant role, at least so the commentators of the Book of Changes believed. It talks about what a woman should be in a family. Aphorisms of individual traits further develop it. Here it says only: Homemade. Favorable woman stamina.
Jia-ren (Homemade): jia - house, dwelling, household; family, relatives, clan; business enterprise; school of Life; mastery of skills; have something in common with others; the hieroglyph depicts a roof over a pig or a dog, the most revered domestic animals; jen - people; human personality; humanity; the hieroglyph depicts a person kneeling in a pose of prayer or submission.

Hexagram lines
Line 1Nine first
Shut up and start your house.
Repentance will disappear.
You are completely immersed in family affairs. That's the way it should be. The time for action has not yet come. If you lock yourself in your circle and take care of its arrangement, you will not regret it.
In the first position, a person is completely immersed in this closure within his own family. This is what should be here. He will not have to repent of anything if, remaining in this narrow environment, he will take care of its organization.
Line 2
Six second
She (wife) has no one to follow.
And her point is to focus on food.
Resilience is a blessing.
This position is characterized by the image of a woman engaged in providing for the family. She has no one to follow, and she does not need to. What matters is that you stick to your responsibilities. Do the same and the path will be open.
The activities of a woman, wife and mistress, are closed by the interests of the family, and mainly by the interests of food. This image of isolation within the family is characterized in this position. There is no need to perform anywhere, and there is no one to follow. All that is needed is the stamina that was mentioned in the general introduction.
Line 3
Nine third
When there are harsh shouts among the household,
That will be repentance in severity, but there will be happiness.
When the wife and children chat and laugh,
In the end, there will be regret.
This is the time for strict measures and discipline to keep your home in proper order. If you dismiss your household, then later you will have to regret it.
A person in this situation, if he must act, then only within his family. However, within these limits, he needs to take responsibility for his house, really manage it. In order to manage his family, he must not be tough, but harsh. Although his severity can be perceived as something terrible, however, it leads to the fact that the house is subordinate to him and he, having taken responsibility for the successful life of his family, leads it along a completely conscious path. On the contrary, to dismiss your household, to give them the opportunity for self-willed actions, means to conduct business in such a way that later you will have to regret a lot.
Line 4
Six fourth
Rich house. Great happiness.
As a result of your efforts, prosperity appears in the family. The path is open. May the abundance in your home serve a worthy purpose.
As a result of the activity that is systematically guided by the head of the family, and if this activity is carried out correctly, prosperity comes in the house. The correctness of such activity is emphasized by the proximity of this position to the fifth extreme line.
Line 5
Nine fifth
The king approaches the owner of the family.
Do not take it to heart.
Happiness.
Do not look for favors from above. Your position does not allow vigorous activity outside the house. Take things as they are, take care of your neighbors. Then the path will be open to you.
A person should be so involved in the affairs of his family that the expectation of any blessings from the side of people placed above is something unnatural and unusual for him. However, if a person does not correctly consider his position, then he may be impressed by the mercy shown from above. This would lead to a certain interest in public life outside his home, i.e. out of harmony with this situation.
Line 6
Top nine
There is harshness in the possession of truth.
In the end - happiness.
There is a connection with the spirits in the situation. You will need endurance and a certain severity, but not cruelty. You will impress those around you. The path is still open.
Here again the theme of severity appears, outlined already in the third line, which stands in accordance with the sixth. But first of all, it must be emphasized that severity is meant, not cruelty. Cruelty is devoid of truthfulness, while severity can be quite truthful.
