hexagram45

 

Hexagram № 45 – Ts’ui. Gathering.

You should join with others in a unifying spirit. Seek help and you will get it. You will then think more clearly and be happy. There is a force beyond your knowledge which is drawing you and others together. Do not resist it. Good fortune will result. There is no need for pretense or formality between friends. If some stand in your way, go to someone in the center, ally yourself to him and follow him. There will be some embarrassment but it will pass. You will be accepted and entrusted with leadership. You will have good fortune without seeking it. Not everyone understands you and some use you for your influence. Continue doing right and these negative factors fade away. You will ally yourself with one who misjudges you. Saddened by this but resolute, the unifying spirit which you have helped build will endure. A harmonious balance requires a gathering together with others, although you should only take advice from one other. Be prepared for your inner calm to be tested, and be ready to act if things get out of control.
