Hi :)
I asked, will I have a baby this year? I feel like I'm being told to let go and go with the flow but would like to hear other insights. Thank you

Hexagram 10, Treading



Key Questions

Where is the tiger?
Do you know how to work with such power?

Oracle

'Treading a tiger's tail.
It does not bite people.
Creating success.'

There are tigers in the outer world, and also inner tigers; as you get close, it's good to recognize the tiger for what it is.

Treading the tiger's tail is perilous – yet if you can move in harmony with it, you can invite its power into your own life as protection, fertility and blessing. To do this without getting bitten requires both skill and care.

Look to the power and intensity you are drawn to in the situation: its specific danger is there, and also its potential gift.

'Heaven above, lake below: Treading.
A noble one differentiates above and below,
And makes a place for the people's aspiration.'

Sequence

Treading follows from Hexagram 9, Small Taming:
'Things are tamed, and then there are the rituals. And so Treading follows.'

Line 2
'Treading the path, smooth and easy.
A hermit's constancy brings good fortune.'

Line 6
'Observing the footsteps, blessings from the ancestors.
They come full circle: good fortune from the source.'


Hexagram 17, Following



Key Questions

How are things flowing, and how can you move with them?
Where are you being nudged and guided?

Oracle

'Following.
From the source, creating success, constancy bears fruit.
No mistake.'

Energy flows strongly into life's landscapes, bringing a great creative drive, from the source through towards fulfilment. Following it means a willingness to honour the flow and align actions with it. You can know your ideal, and then allow it to meld with the natural current, following signs and nudges and allowing them to draw you onward.

Then, you may experience Following as an effortless flow of supportive synchronicities – or you may experience it as events unfolding in accordance with their own schedule, and failing to keep to yours. It can seem as if simply allowing yourself to be guided by the current is not enough, and you ought to be 'doing something'. But moving with the creative process is not a mistake.

'At the centre of the lake is thunder: Following.
A noble one at nightfall
Goes inside for renewal and rest.'

Sequence

Following comes from Hexagram 16, Enthusiasm:
'Enthusiasm naturally means Following.'

Pair

Following is paired and contrasted with Hexagram 18, Corruption.
'Following has no causes. Corruption, and then order.'
