Hexagram 57 Yijing represents the need to be persistent in any progress but to be gentle instead of forceful. Now is not the time for frequent breaks or deviation from a well-thought-out plan. Use this period to make steady progress toward an end goal.

This hexagram shows the importance of being persistent with kindness and gentleness as opposed to forceful working. A soft approach to any plan is what will lead to success. Forcing progress and being threatening towards those you encounter will only lead to a slower pace.

I Ching Hexagram 57 Interpretation and Meaning

Hexagram 57 shows that you need the power to endure certain difficulties. You also need this to continue progress in a relationship or at the workplace. Thus, you need constant persistence to achieve success.

Emotions are perhaps the hardest parts of our minds to control. They are in fact what define humans and their characteristics. Emotions can be a clear communication with another person. Based on our emotions, one can determine the outcome of a situation.

Threatening others to hurry their work so you can progress is not an option. This will only lead to more trouble. An individual might be kind and gentle as they endure their journey. But, it is ideal not to let gentleness turn into a weakness.

I Ching Hexagram 57 Goals – Personal Goals

When enduring a period of progress, whether it is through a difficult time or one of success, it is important to approach the situation gently. If we let our emotions run ramped, it is difficult to make any progress.

We should be kind to those we interact with and give time to consider any advice they might give. Then, it allows us to prepare for what is about to happen next.

I Ching Hexagram 57 Love – Love Interpretation

When developing a new relationship, it is important to start slow. And, then build a good foundation for the relationship to blossom. Trust is the key to any long-lasting relationship. Take time to build upon this characteristic by being thoughtful and attentive to your partner.

Showing kindness and gentle actions can allow a partner to become open; with clearer communication. But most of all, it’s important to be patient. All great things take time to build up and progress. If we try to rush a new relationship, it is unlikely to last.

There is a difference between falling in love quickly and trying to progress the relationship too fast. Giving your partner time will allow the relationship to grow securely.

I Ching Hexagram Number 57 – Career and Business

If you want to see further progress in the work environment, it may take persuading others to see your perspective. It is difficult to influence others to see a project the way you do. Take this time to be persistent with your ideas once you feel comfortable enough to share them with others.

Any new idea should be well thought out before offering it to others. Be gentle with your persistence and try not to force your ideas on others. Everyone sees the world differently. And, it may take a while before you have your colleagues over to your side of thinking.

Spreads his commands abroad
And carries out his undertakings.

Have a kind heart but a clear, stable mind that will help anyone to make the appropriate choices. Hexagram 57 says that you should be able to become aware of possible dangerous paths.
