Hexagram 17
Su, following
Gua Poem:
Eminent expansion. Harvest determination.Without
fault (../origins/goodbad.htm#JIUfault).
The great image says: In the center of the marsh is thunder:
(../i_ching/trigrams/8 Following. The noble one, towards nightfall, goes inside to eat
dui.htm)
and relax.

(../i_ching/trigrams/6
zhen.htm)
Su: the ideogram and the story. (../hexstories/17.html) What does it mean for your
question?
Top 6: Embracing it and relating to it. Therefore following it and netting it. The
king offers a Hengsacrifice at the Western Mountain.
What you embrace will be what you follow, even without any conscious effort. So find

yourself positive and beautiful thoughts, gods, images, people, deeds, feelings, goals.
Go to rich places, connect with rich thoughts and avoid everything objectionable.
(Changes to hex.25) (hex_25.html)
9 at 5: Inspiring confidence in excellence. Auspicious
(../origins/goodbad.htm#Ji: auspicious).
Everybody is able to surpass the restrictions of his human life. When one resonates to
higher things, one can make them part of life, and thus give life an essential meaning.
One needs a form to exist, but it does not have to be a small form.
(Changes to hex.51) (hex_51.html)
9 at 4: Pursuing brings a catch. Determination pitfall
(../origins/goodbad.htm#Xiongpitfall). There is protection on your road, use
intelligence. No need to feel fault (../origins/goodbad.htm#JIUfault)y.
For achieving something by answering to events, one has to react quickly and clearly
to anything coming on that road. Stay in tune with reality and your spirits, and realize
that trying to avoid all faults will stifle flexibility.
(Changes to hex.3) (hex_03.html)
6 at 3: Related to the big man, losing the small child. By following one obtains
what one seeks. Fruitful to determine about settling.
Follow what you see as big and valuable, and do not regret the small you have to leave
behind. Dedication will reach its destination and find its fulfillment.
(Changes to hex.49) (hex_49.html)
6 at 2: Related to the small child, losing the big man.
One can fulfill one life. As long as the small is possible, the big cannot be found. So
live the small. Honest small might be bigger than you think. To follow higher aims is
not a question of ability, but of impossibility to follow anything else. And if what you
are is not enough for you, you might end up with nothing at all.
(Changes to hex.58) (hex_58.html)
Initial 9: The standards are changing. Determination auspicious. To come out of
the gate and interact brings achievement.
Who stays inside does not notice the world is changing. He stays behind and loses his
ability to bring about things. Weave the patterns of the time into your life, in order to
understand your time and be understood.
