HEXAGRAM 2 - KUN

RECEPTIVE ENERGY

 

KEY WORD: SUPPORTIVE ROLE

 

MAIN COMMENTARY

 

Hexagram 2 advises to work behind the scenes in a supportive role and allow things to unfold naturally rather than taking the lead. The best way to proceed is to accept and respond to each situation as it comes up. Do not try to manipulate things or force a direction. Be accommodating and cooperative.  Success comes by going with the flow and seeking guidance from an experienced leader.

 

In relationships don’t try to lead instead follow along.  Allow your partner to take the lead and be responsive to their needs. Focus on being supportive not aggressive. Forcing a commitment or demanding answers right now may lead to confusion or alienation. If you do not find the support or companionship you're looking for in a partner. Look inward for answers that will come to you. 

 

Seek new friends or partners who are on your level - your allies and equals, who are like-minded and supportive. Seek people who you can rely on for help. It’s time to get out of your isolation and get away from hostile unsupportive people.

 

Pay attention to early warning signs of potential decline, as small issues can grow into larger problems if ignored in future. 

 

Hexagram 2 unchanging means there’s an impasse.
