Yi Jing, Oracle of the Moon
The image of hexagram 35
Jìn, the power (of a gift of) of horses
What does it mean, 'inner' and 'outer trigram' (popup)
Kūn below Lí: when the nurturing power of Kūn assists Lí, great works can come into fruition. The Earth makes its reality possible, Fire pours it into a visible shape. It is the way a tiny seed of grass grows into a tiny tuft of green and branches out, and within a year there is a large patch of green grass. Find the seeds of what you would like to develop, and Jìn will assist you.
Ideogram of the hexagram name: at the top two arrows. At the bottom the sun, or a container to carry or support to present the arrows or an opening which they enter. It might be a graphic image of what the horses of Kang did: the stallion covering the mare many times. Two phalluses, one vulva. Jìn means: promote, name of a dynasty (265-420), progress, enter, inside, come into, suppress, lean down, upgrade, advance.
The 'Great Image' says:
Hex.35 is the contrast of 5, which is about waiting for what you need.
Hex.35 is about creating what you need (or just what you would like to make).
Prosperity does not arrive by itself, it visits the people with the right attitude. The one who always carries along arrows is probably the only one who comes home from a walk with a rabbit for dinner. The lord of Kang grasped the opportunity of a gift to breed a meadow full of horses. The first one who sees a gap in the market builds up the multinational. Grasp the small chances, do not wait for the big one to arrive, stay alert with eyes and ears and hands ready, and a quiver filled with arrows.
