The meaning of hexagram 60. General interpretation according to Y. Shutsky
Your time has come, actively get down to business, but, of course, remembering the necessary foresight, otherwise all efforts will go to waste. Do not accept too hastily an offer that has just been made to you or is about to be made. It is possible that it is much less beneficial to you than it seems at first glance. The same applies to your new loves and friendships. Reasonable and real desires will be fulfilled. Remember the proverb: do not dig a hole for another, you yourself will fall into it.
During the process of fragmentation and individualization, its disadvantage may be its non-stop. It must be taken within certain limits. If in the previous one the image of ripples on the water was given, and it was not indicated in any way that this water is limited, then the thought could appear: this water will spill, in other words, this process individualization can go further and further, and its internal contradictions can themselves lead to exhaustion.
Therefore, it is replaced by the process of limitation. This is figuratively expressed in the hexagram by the fact that the trigram "water" is placed above the trigram "reservoir". So, the water is introduced into the channel, introduced into the banks. Thus, a limitation is given. This restriction serves development, because development involves the creation of new values, and if there were no restriction, then individualization, which has no stop, would not lead to the creation of new values, because nothing could stand in this process, everything would fall apart. farther and farther.
Thus, the grief that could arise as a result of unceasing fragmentation is also subject to limitation, for, like everything else, it cannot remain unchanged forever. So the text here says:
Limitation. Accomplishment. Grief is limited. It cannot be sustainable.
In the first position, the restriction manifests itself in the image of maximum isolation. Since the first position is a stay in the very depths of individuality, here a person does not go anywhere from himself, he is limited in himself. Realizing himself as an individual, he remains only alone with himself.
From the context of the previous hexagrams, it followed that such a stay in oneself could lead to adverse consequences. However, since it is here that the process of restriction is considered as necessary, the Book of Changes speaks of a favorable outcome, for such a process is necessary here. Thus, in the text we read:
Strong in the beginning. You won't get out courtyard. There will be no bullshit.
If such a stay in oneself, as indicated above, is necessary, then only until a certain period, because the preservation of the previous state during the subsequent stage leads only to misfortune. Even if a person were to extend his activities a little further than was possible and necessary in the previous position, but did not achieve that wide coverage of his environment, which is required in such a period of time, then this would only lead to misfortune. The text here says:
Strong Trait In second place. You will not leave the outer court. Misfortune.
In the third position, going out becomes already necessary, so the text does not even mention its existence here, because such going out will come by itself if a person has achieved in the development of his life situation up to this third position. However, when going outside, a person must find restraining incentives in himself, he must be able to limit himself. If this is taken into account by him, then he can get out of the situation with dignity. The text says this:
Weak trait in third place. If you do not limit yourself, you will have something to sigh about. There will be no bullshit.
Everything that needs to be done in inner life, here is achieved. A person can acquire a certain confidence in his actions. If he finds in himself the ability to set a goal for himself and set limits to his activity, then a person can achieve that calmness that arises due to the ability to limit himself, and that development in the future that comes as a result of independent conduct of his actions. So the text here says:
Weak trait in fourth place. Take it easy on the limitation. Accomplishment.
A characteristic feature of the fifth position is balance, the same distance from both extremes. Such harmony, which manifests itself both outside and inside, leads to the fact that a person can find pleasure in his limitation. But a person acting in this position, if he proceeds from its essence, can only do great things - those that cause praise from the people around him. That's why the text here says:
Strong trait in fifth place. Sweet limitation. Happiness. If you perform, there will be praise.
The balance inherent in the previous position is already lost here. Therefore, the restriction is perceived here as something external. Symbolically, this is already expressed in the position itself, which is the outermost position of the hexagram.
Therefore, the limitation that arises here can be experienced as something sad and oppressive. Persistence in such a state can only cause misfortune. Here one should take into account the transitional nature of this position, move on to the next situation of the degree of the process of limitation and strive to work on oneself within the framework that was already set in the previous one.
If this is taken into account, then remorse for previous mistakes may fall away. Therefore, two aphorisms should be seen in the text here: one characterizing the objectivity of this situation, and the second - the absence of repentance as a result of a correctly understood and corrected situation. So, the text says:
Above is a weak feature. Bitter limitation. Resilience is unfortunate. Repentance will disappear.
AT Chinese this hexagram is called "Jie", which means - "Restriction, control over something." If such a hexagram falls out, then you need to limit yourself in business and then success will await in life.
Hexagram 60 indicates that the time has come for a fortuneteller and it is time to take action. But before that, it is necessary to put together all the latest events and words, think over and analyze, since there is a danger of risk. In other words, if some new suspicious and tempting offer has recently been received, then it is impossible to rush to agree to it, since you should first think it over carefully.
Thus, it turns out that this is a kind of warning that you need to enjoy life in moderation - such an interpretation is given by the book of changes.
Hexagram 60 is a warning about limiting actions and analyzing your life. It can also be said about it that this hexagram inspires life with the help of words coming from the depths of the soul. Hexagram 60 coincides with the fourteenth lasso, which portends moderation in deeds and actions. The symbol of this Chinese sign says that "A good, kind, honest person gets rid of the unnecessary in order to make room for the necessary and important."
In order to better understand the Chinese interpretation and fortune telling, you must first study Full description hexagrams. The first rolled out nine, or a solid line, indicates that it is extremely undesirable to leave the house at this moment. Nine also says that having committed this act, no one will scold or condemn him for him. The initial line indicates that the person is closed and focused on his inner world. In this scenario, a person feels individual, but now it is advisable not to leave the walls of the house and curtail their activities a little.
The second nine says that if you don’t leave the house on time, then you can invite misfortune to your house. In other words, if a person is this stage remains in the same position from the previous situation, then he will certainly lose. He needs to get down to business so as not to miss an opportunity.
The third dashed line, or six, suggests that if you don’t limit yourself at this stage, then you won’t have to sigh later in disappointment. A person must reach this stage in his self-development. In the event that a person takes all the existing nuances into account, then his affairs will turn out well. This stage is a kind of retribution for wasted time and wasted money, and now it's time to look back and see your actions from the outside.
The fourth six says that a person who has learned to control himself, set a goal and go to achieve it, can finally achieve that very balance. Thanks to patience and prudence, luck will not be long in coming, fortune will turn to face the person.
The fifth line - nine, says that at this stage, grief will only be pleasant and bring happiness. If you start active actions at this stage, then there will be praise. The peculiarity of this alignment is that at this stage a person is equally far from both grief and happiness. Moreover, the achievement of complete harmony between the inner and outer world brings pleasure from the limitation in actions. If a person who is in this situation will actively act, based on the essence of the hexagram, then his deeds will be great and deserve praise from the outside. At this stage, the main thing is not to forget about the sense of proportion. Patience and prudence in this position is only the decision of the person himself and is not a burden. On the contrary, such actions bring only pleasure and good luck in all matters, and right now it is best to intensify all your actions.
But, at the top is a six, which warns that now stamina will bring grief and lead to misfortune. Moreover, there will be no remorse. The fact is that the internal limitation has already been lost and is only external, so it will only be a burden. At this stage, it should be taken into account that the nature of divination has changed its direction, and already those actions that were in the previous position are not appropriate here, it is necessary to restructure. Under no circumstances should you stand still. If this is not understood in time, then the necessary repentance may not come.
The feeling of repentance at this stage speaks of a correctly understood situation and its correction, and the absence of such leads to disastrous consequences. This position can be explained as follows, the fact is that the inner "I" did not come to terms with what is happening, it did not come to terms with the savings and planning of each of its steps. The reason for such obstinacy lies in the fact that previously such restrictions, for the inner "I", were the lot of fools and the poor, but in reality it turned out that poverty and stupidity threatens only a person with a strong inner "I". The way out of this situation is simple, in order not to lose what is happening completely out of control, you need to change your views, habits and attitude towards money.
The classic book of changes interprets this hexagram as follows: this is the time to analyze your thoughts and actions, in order to learn how to measure things and learn how to control them. This stage teaches the ability to impose and adhere to restrictions. In this position, you need to draw up a plan of your actions and strictly adhere to it.
Moreover, now it is necessary to think very carefully about all your actions. But, the hexagram does not advise to do excessive severity and restrictions, since such actions will only do harm. It is necessary to lead and manage the situation only from the center, as this is the safest position. When reasonable rules are established, the life of people who fall hexagram 60 calms down and brings order.
Real desires at this stage will be fulfilled, subject to prudence. In any undertakings, it is best to set limits now and then actions will only lead to good results, more health, youth or money will come. Fortune will surely reward you for your patience.
