Today I specifically asked for information to share here. I was answered by Hexagram #47 ADVERSITY changing to Hexagram 17 ADAPTING (FOLLOWING).
For 47 ADVERSITY:
Difficult times – part of natural cycles. As the seasons of the year – winter would be considered an adversity for plant life, animal life, and our life. But Spring is to follow with rebirth.
Difficulties are to be endured, hold fear in check, remain stable in emotions and optimistic. Talking to others will not influence them. Deeds speak louder. Character and determination will appear thru your silence. Truth will become evident. Benefits of ADVERSITY are inner development and physical health if you hold on to your principles. If you cannot overcome negativity or pessimism, your Spirit will be damaged.
17 ADAPTING (following)
Know when to speak, when to be silent, when to rest. Have peaceful attitude to adjust to the new ways. Even if you want to act, it is in your best interest not to.
“True power lies in serving others, and with such behavior comes progress and success.”
Be peaceful knowing that only leaders who have humanity’s welfare at heart will be followed. When you follow such a person, you may relax and restore self. Adapt.
