Yao Commentary

The six Yaos of the Ground Hexagram illustrate how to choose between staying true to one's core beliefs and adapting to the situation.

Ground Hexagram - Yao 57.1

Neutral

Indecisive about advancing or retreating, but for a warrior, remaining steadfast in one's beliefs is commendable.

This describes a state of hesitation where one is unsure whether to advance or retreat; only by being as resolute as a disciplined soldier can one remain unflustered in the face of danger. Officials may hold multiple positions, facing both challenges and ease, while businessmen who are indecisive cannot achieve profit.

Ground Hexagram - Yao 57.2

Fortune

Excessively modest to the point of hiding under the bed; if one can follow the natural course, it will bring great fortune without calamity.

This suggests that capable individuals should not be excessively deferential; if they can naturally demonstrate their abilities, matters will proceed smoothly. Officials may have opportunities for promotion, while businessmen who are overly deferential and inactive cannot profit.

Ground Hexagram - Yao 57.3

Misfortune

Excessive compliance and indecision will lead to difficulties.

This describes that if one continually panders and is overly compliant, one will lose one's stance and invite trouble. Officials may face demotion, and overly humble businessmen may fail to profit.

Ground Hexagram - Yao 57.4

Fortune

Regrets vanish and the hunt yields abundant prey.

This indicates a turnaround in luck, leading to fruitful outcomes. Businessmen are well-suited for ventures in the leather and feather trades.

Ground Hexagram - Yao 57.5

Fortune

Persist in doing the right thing, and nothing adverse will occur. Although the start may be rough, in the end, very good results will be achieved. A period of accumulation and adjustment is necessary to attain great fortune.

This describes that even if things do not start well, persisting in doing what is right will ultimately lead to success. Officials may encounter initial obstacles that later clear, and businessmen may experience early losses followed by significant gains.

Ground Hexagram - Yao 57.6

Misfortune

Excessive modesty, to the point of hiding under the bed and remaining concealed, results in the loss of tools and resources, ultimately leading to danger.

This describes that if one is overly low-key, withdrawn, or even hides oneself, opportunities will be missed, ultimately resulting in losses and failure. Officials may find themselves out of favor, and businessmen who deviate from conventional methods may incur losses.

When interpreting the hexagram, one should consider the five-element attributes of each Yao and analyze them according to the principles of the generative and controlling cycles of the five elements. In studying the transformed hexagram, note which Yao is activated, whether the activation is auspicious or not, and how easily it can be initiated. For more details, see:
