What Is I Ching Hexagram 18 All About?
Ku is the Chinese name of the I Ching Hexagram 18. This has inner and outer trigrams forming mountains over the wind. This Hexagram is called ‘correction’ ‘restoration’ or ‘work on what has been decayed.’
Hexagram 18 symbolizes a time when progress has come to a halt. This is because you are not dealing with previous situations and problems properly. It is hard to progress when parts are missing or other parts are damaged.
To find peace in the universe, you need to balance all aspects of life and not tarnish it. It is very easy to dismiss a problem when it arises without adequately dealing with the situation. No one likes to deal with unpleasant situations. And, it’s easy to run from the problem instead of fixing it.
I Ching Hexagram 18 Interpretation and Meaning
Hexagram 18 represents a time to focus on our life. See what areas could be fixed to progress. This could relate to disagreements in the work area that are keeping projects from being completed. Negative feelings between partners need to be cleared up to continue the relationship.
One of the tricks for forgiving others is to realize that the pain or anger you have been feeling towards another person may not be the same feelings that person currently has. The pain and anger we hold inside are only affecting us and not that other person. The focus of our rage is likely oblivious to how we feel.
When we come to terms with this realization, we can then take action to correct the painful feelings. Perhaps letting the person know what they have done to offend us will often spark a change in that person. The truth of the matter could be that the person had no idea of the repercussions of their actions.
I Ching Hexagram 18 Goals – Personal Goals
Harboring a grudge is like feeding water to a plant that is laced with poison. The plant may not die at first. But over time, the poison will keep the plant from reaching its full potential. Be open and honest to those who have hurt us. We can then create the change that is necessary to move on. Not dealing with problems will prevent everyone from progressing down the life path.
I Ching Hexagram 18 Love – Love Interpretation
I Ching 18 says it is effortless to hold a grudge against someone for a very long time. These feelings often fester inside of us and last for years. Soon we have forgotten the reason why the person has offended us. But, we can still remember the feeling of being hurt. Eventually, this displeasing feeling will catch up with us, and we will have to face them.
It is tough to forgive someone after long periods. So, it is important to the overall being of a person to forgive. Do it often and in a fast manner to prevent long-lasting feelings of pain.
I Ching Hexagram Number 18 – Career and Business
Working well with others can often be difficult when the team members have different personalities. There are different forms of working that everyone prefers. It can sometimes be hard to settle on one method in a group. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with the members of the group to find a better solution.
But often, disagreeing turns into arguing and harboring harsh feelings against other people. Then, the progress in that plan stops. It is impossible to work with someone you can’t get along with and still be successful. If this type of problem has been a continuous phase at work, fix it now. Or it will be difficult to find peace in the workplace.
iChing 18 Judgment – The Judgment Poem
WORK ON WHAT HAS BEEN SPOILED
Has supreme success.
It furthers one to cross the great water.
Before the starting point, three days.
After the starting point, three days.
iChing 18 Poem – The Image Poem
The wind blows low on the mountain:
The image of DECAY.
Thus the superior man stirs up the people
And strengthens their spirit.
iChing 18 – Conclusion
Hexagram 18 Yijing is a symbol that heads a warning against holding anger towards someone or something. Eventually, all previous issues will pop up later in life and hold us back from being successful.
We must be honest and open with ourselves and those who have offended us. This will often put into place the necessary change needed to progress. Waiting to heal old wounds will only cause a spiritual infection that will take serious surgery to repair.
