Hexagram 2: The Receptive<\/h1>\n

By: James Byrd<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I. The Oracle<\/h2>\n

A. Hexagram Overview<\/h3>\n

Hexagram 2 is Kun<\/strong> or Field<\/strong>. Alternate translations include The Receptive<\/a><\/em>, Acquiesce<\/a><\/em>, or Natural Flow<\/em>. Both the lower and upper trigrams are identical, representing earth<\/strong> or field<\/strong> energy, which emphasizes receptivity and nurturing.<\/p>\n

B. The Judgment<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    The Receptive brings about sublime success,<\/strong>
    \nFurthering through the perseverance of a mare.<\/strong>
    \nIf the superior man undertakes something and tries to lead,
    \nHe goes astray; but if he follows, he finds guidance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    It is favorable to find friends in the west and south,<\/strong>
    \nTo forego friends in the east and north.<\/strong>
    \nQuiet perseverance brings good fortune.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    C. The Image<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. The earth\u2019s condition is receptive devotion.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    2. Thus, the superior man with a breadth of character
      \nCarries the outer world.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
