Hexagram 20 Resolutions Challenges Overcome Hope |
Have you ever wondered what impact your smallest actions and mistakes have on the universe? Well, Hexagram 20 from the I Ching enlightens you about precisely that. If looking at the bigger picture is something you’ve been struggling with lately, the I Ching might give you Hexagram 20 as a guide for your next few moves in life.
Before we dig into the interpretation, however, let’s first go over some of the positives and negatives of this Hexagram.
Guidance:
- Once you start to realize how your actions affect the bigger picture, making precise and effective moves becomes much easier.
- Having an overview of the situation is likely to lead to a quicker solution. When you view an obstacle from the top, you can have a much better understanding of how you can remove it and clear the path for the journey ahead.
- Keeping track of your progress is key. Little steps you take today can have a major impact on the bigger picture.
Warnings:
- When looking at the bigger picture, it’s easy to miss out on little everyday details just to get to the final destination. You could feel unfulfilled and dull at the end of the journey if the small moments in between are not enjoyed sufficiently.
- A larger perspective can often be intimidating to ponder over; in rare cases, it might cause you to lose your head.
- Holding back from taking a step that could have a negative impact later on is difficult. You’ll need great patience and forward-looking vision to conquer this urge.
Hexagram 20 Message
While it’s good to make decisions that benefit you at the moment, right now is not the time to be thinking short-term. Even your smallest actions affect what happens in the bigger picture. Make moves accordingly and only welcome opportunities that you believe will yield results a few years from now.
Don’t, however, neglect your today! There are minute details, events, and moments in everyday life that must be cherished if you wish to live life to the fullest.
Hexagram 20 Message For Love & Relationships
Pain and sacrifice is a part of every relationship; there’s no relationship without it. At some point, you will have to give up something in order to keep your relationship intact. Sacrifice is the highest form of love. When nothing is more valuable to you than your partner’s satisfaction and happiness, that’s when you know you’ve truly fallen in love.
Partners with such an approach in relationships often receive equally as much pain as happiness. Sacrifice is not easy. There’s regret, overthinking, and even heartbreak when the other party fails to make the same kind of effort. Either embrace love in all its glory or let go of it if sacrifice isn’t something you specialize in.
Messages From The Lines Of Hexagram 20
Line 1:
In the real world, both knowledge and experience can come in handy. Don’t make the mistake of only trusting what you’ve been told; what you’ve experienced is often a greater marker of trust. For those at a youthful age who may be low on experience, seeking advice and mentorship is your best bet.
In certain situations where both knowledge and experience aren’t applicable, trust your gut to lead you to a better path. It’s not the worst way to go about things but certainly not the best either.
Line 2:
Adapt a larger, grander perspective of the universe if you intend to have an impact on it. A small vision with a narrow mindset will only invite failure. Be open to endless possibilities and build connections with unfamiliar people who seem to bring opportunity.
Everyone has their own unique approach and perspective on things. When you have an interest in learning about the wise’s ways, the likelihood of failing and getting lost drastically goes down. Don’t let your ego force you into conservative thinking; the universe is far too large and rapidly developing for you to be stuck with such a negative mindset.
Line 3:
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. Be willing to take the first step no matter how long and excruciating a journey might seem. When the first drop of water falls on the rock, nothing happens. But, when the 10,000th drop falls, a hole begins to form. To neglect this basic concept would be to neglect the reality of life.
More often than not, the first step towards something is usually the hardest. No results are there to keep you motivated and you have to rely solely on the hope that you might be headed in the right direction. It does get easier though; take one step at a time and commit yourself wholeheartedly!
Line 4:
When somebody happens to help you out of nowhere and seeks nothing in return, cherish that individual and put them in a position of honor. Having assistance in the midst of trouble is rare; major alliances can often come to an end at the first sight of trouble.
Line 5:
Ignore your weak points for now; you can work on them later. For the time being, focus on your strengths and use them to your advantage. Rivals are hungry and they’re looking to exploit you. Building walls and setting up a guard would take too long; use all the tricks you have up your sleeve to defend your position temporarily.
Line 6:
When you reach your destination/peak, it’s never a good idea to just rush to the next objective. Sit back and enjoy your position for a while. Life is everything but a race; you don’t need to be crossing checkpoints all the time.
Here, again, when you look at the bigger picture, you’ll realize that taking small breaks between objectives/destinations doesn’t hurt progress as much as you think.
When everybody in this universe seems to be finding a way to cut through the journey, be the one who embraces its longevity and envisions reaching the end. Let Hexagram 20 be a reminder of how important overviews and higher perspectives are, especially if you know how to use them effectively. The next time you find an obstruction in your path, instead of overthinking the problem, ponder over how minor and insignificant it seems when you look at the bigger picture. 99% of the problems you’re stressing over right now will mean nothing in the long run.
