Judgment
Legge: Approach means successful progress through firm correctness. In the eighth month there will be evil.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Approach has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. When the eighth month comes, there will be misfortune.
Blofeld:Approach.Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward. However, when the eighth month is reached, misfortune will befall. [The eighth moon of the lunar calendar corresponds approximately to September.]
Liu: Approach. Great Success. It is of benefit to continue. When the eighth month arrives, then there will be misfortune.
Ritsema/Karcher: Nearing, Spring Growing Harvesting Trial. Culminating tending-towards the eighth moon: possessing a pitfall. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of approaching and being approached. It emphasizes that acting without immediately expecting to attain what you desire is the adequate way to handle it...]
Shaughnessy: The Forest: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine; arriving at the eighth month there is inauspiciousness.
Cleary (1):Overseeing is creative and developmental, beneficial if correct. In the eighth month there is misfortune.
Cleary (2):Overseeing is very successful, beneficial if correct. If you go on until the eighth month, there will be misfortune. [If you ride on the momentum of the time and do not know to turn back, at a certain point deterioration will inevitably set in, after flourishing has reached its climax, and there will surely be misfortune.]
Wu:Condescension is great, pervasive, and persevering, etc. [Condescension as used in several judgments has two meanings: to condescend (or to look down from a higher position) and to press forward with authority.]
Hua-Ching Ni: Advance. It is beneficial to go forward with a positive attitude, but be mindful of the cyclical nature of things.
The Image
Legge: The earth over a marsh -- the image of Approach. The superior man is inexhaustible in his instruction and unflagging in his nourishing support of the people.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The earth above the lake: the image of Approach. Thus the superior man is inexhaustible in his will to teach, and without limits in his tolerance and protection of the people.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes land rising above a marsh. The Superior Man's teaching and his affection for his juniors are inexhaustible. Nothing hinders him in his care for the people. [The lower component trigram suggests the nourishment which the Superior Man gives joyfully to others. The upper trigram symbolizes the great bulk of those who benefit.]
Liu: The earth above the lake symbolizes Approach. The superior man's will for instruction has no limit. He is boundless in his support and protection of the people.
Ritsema/Karcher: Above marsh possessing earth. Nearing. A chun tzu uses teaching to ponder without exhausting. [A chun tzu uses] tolerating to protect the commoners without delimiting.
Cleary (1): Above the lake there is earth, overseeing. Superior people use
inexhaustibility of education and thought to embrace and protect the people without bound.
Wu: There is ground above the marsh; this is Condescension. Thus the jun zi realizes that there is no limit to the ideas of education and there is no boundary in the protection of people.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: In Approach we see the dynamic lines gradually increasing and advancing. The lower trigram is the symbol of Being Pleased, and the upper of Being Compliant. The strong line is in the central position, and is properly responded to. It is the way of heaven to bring progress and success through firm correctness, however the advancing power will decay after no long time.
Legge: Approach suggests the approach of authority -- to inspect, to comfort or to rule. The figure shows two dynamic lines advancing on the four magnetic lines above them. Their action will be powerful and successful, but it must be governed by rectitude and a caution that understands the nature of continuous change.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Two steps forward are followed by one step backward.
The Superior Man remains true to the Work regardless of fluctuations within the psyche.
The meaning of Approach is derived from the two dynamic lines advancing from below to encounter the magnetic lines above. These two are firm allies, and the action of the superior man in the Image suggests that their ascent is one of benevolent regard for the welfare of their subordinates -- only the third line need change for the hexagram to become number eleven, Harmony. We are reminded of the proper relationship between the ego and the Self -- when they advance together, the magnetic forces in the rest of the psyche are eventually transformed.
This hexagram recognizes the inevitably slow progress of the Work (" Rome wasn't built in a day"), and that advances are always followed by retreats. The point is that if one maintains the will to advance, one can be confident that the Work is advancing, regardless of appearances.
(Confucius) tried his best, but the issue he left to Ming. Ming is often translated as Fate, Destiny or Decree. To Confucius, it meant the Decree of Heaven or Will of Heaven ... Thus to know Ming means to acknowledge the inevitability of the world as it exists, and so to disregard one's external success or failure. If we can act in this way, we can, in a sense, never fail. For if we do our duty that duty through our very act is morally done, regardless of the external success or failure of our action. Fung Yu-Lan -- A Short History of Chinese Philosophy
Without changing lines, the hexagram suggests a progressive advance in the matter at hand. Nature being what it is however, no advance can be sustained indefinitely and an eventual regression can be expected. (This observation is such a truism that we must assume it is more than usually applicable to the current situation.)
Line 2
Legge: The second line, dynamic, shows its subject advancing in company with the subject of the first line. There will be good fortune; advancing will be in every way advantageous.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Joint approach. Good fortune. Everything furthers.
Blofeld: All approach -- good fortune! Nothing is unfavorable. [All approach can be taken to mean that all things desirable are converging upon us.]
Liu: To approach with sincerity brings good fortune. It is beneficial for everything.
Ritsema/Karcher: Conjunction Nearing: significant. Without not Harvesting.
Shaughnessy: Prohibited forest; auspicious; there is nothing not beneficial.
Cleary (2): Sensitive overseeing is good, beneficial all around. [The second yang is also in the momentum of gradually increasing strength, but at this point it is best to keep still and not ride on the momentum to try to advance; then it will be good and beneficial all around.]
Wu: Pressing forward with a companion will be auspicious. Everything will be advantageous.
Hua-Ching Ni: Impartial advance without prejudice continues…
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: This is because those to whom the advance is made are not yet obedient to the ordinances of heaven. Wilhelm/Baynes: One need not yield to fate. Blofeld: This indicates that there is nevertheless some disobedience. Ritsema/Karcher: Not-yet yielding-to fate indeed. Cleary (2): This is addressed to those who are not yet in harmony with the universal order. Wu: There are still those who do not obey the ordinances of heaven. [Since prosperity of the yang is considered a good omen and meets the approval of heaven, presence of the four yin in the yang’s path of advance is indicative of disobeying the ordinances of heaven.]
Legge: Line two is dynamic, but in a magnetic place. This is counterbalanced by the central position and the proper correlate in line five.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: People who are not obedient to the ways of heaven are induced to follow the steadfast man in a high position. The future will be advantageous in every way.
Wing: What you propose to do wins sympathy and support from higher forces. So correct are your ideals that you can overcome even inherent difficulties. The future is bright indeed.
Editor: The differences in meaning between lines one and two are extremely slight in English translation. Cleary’s Buddhist commentary on the line suggests the idea of controlling the momentum of an otherwise favorable action. (See also his commentary on the Judgment.) Wu’s note on the Confucian commentary shows line two in immediate contact with four yin lines, interpreted here as recalcitrant forces. On another tack, if we take Ritsema/Karcher's version of "Conjunction Nearing: significant...” literally, we can imagine two possible approaching syntheses (line 1 and line 2), one of which may be more auspicious than the other. Only the context of your query can provide a plausible interpretation of these very different readings.
If Jung's method is used in the analysis, the change initiated by the conflict proceeds under the guidance of the individual's own unconscious. The analyst does not assume that he knows the answer to the problem but sets out with his patient to explore the unconscious and seek the solution. He is necessary to the proceeding because he has a technique for interpreting the obscure unconscious material thrown up in the dreams and fantasies; also, he is needed as a fixed point to which the patient can cling during the transition, when all values are under question and all landmarks may disappear. M. E. Harding -- Psychic Energy
A. An approaching conjunction of forces (or obvious choices) will nullify an adverse bias in the situation.
B. An alliance for progress furthers the Work.
C. Ego and Self administer the psyche.
Line 3
Legge: The third line, magnetic, shows one well pleased indeed to advance, but whose action will be in no way advantageous. If she becomes anxious about it however, there will be no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Comfortable approach. Nothing that would further. If one is induced to grieve over it, one becomes free of blame.
Blofeld: A willing approach, but there is nowhere towards which it would be advantageous to set out. Feeling regret on that account involves no error.
Liu: Cheerful approach does not benefit further. If one fears regret, no blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Sweetness Nearing. Without direction: Harvesting. Already grieving-over it: Without fault.
Shaughnessy: Sweet forest; there is no place beneficial; having been saddened by it, there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): Presumptuous overseeing is of no benefit. If one is troubled over this, there is no blame.
Cleary (2): … but if you trouble over it, there will be no blame.
Wu: Condescending for flaunting purposes has nothing to gain. If he is concerned of his behavior, he will make no error.
Hua-Ching Ni: Easy advancement. If one abuses one’s position, there will be trouble in the long run. If this tendency is corrected immediately, there will be no blame.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: She shows herself well pleased to advance, but her position is not that appropriate to her. If she become anxious about it her error will not be continued. Wilhelm/Baynes: The place is not the appropriate one. A fault that induces grief no longer exists. Blofeld: The foregoing is indicated by the unsuitable position of this line. However, if we grieve for it, we shall not be involved in error for long. [At present, there is no goal or destination towards which it would be profitable to move; however, if we sincerely regret this, it will not be long before we emerge from the rut.] Ritsema/Karcher: Situation not appropriate indeed. Fault not long-living indeed. Cleary (2): Once you trouble over it, blame will not last long. Wu: He is out of place. His error will be temporary.
Legge: Line three is magnetic, neither central nor in her correct position, and therefore her action will not be advantageous. Being at the top of the lower trigram of Pleased Satisfaction, she is well pleased to advance. Anxious reflection will save her from error.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man gains power, influence, and comfort. There is danger of relation and carelessness in dealing with others. But if he becomes apprehensive about his actions, he will not continue in his error and will avoid troubles.
Wing: An easy Promotion is possible now. This might lead to a careless attitude on your part. There is danger in such overconfidence. If you are quick to recognize the need for continuous caution, however, you can avoid mistakes that would otherwise harm you.
Editor: The image depicts a case in which one’s powers are not equal to the challenge. Ritsema/Karcher translate Without direction: Harvesting as: “No plan or direction is advantageous; in order to take advantage of the situation, do not impose a direction on events.” That is, success demands that you refrain from action or drop the subject of inquiry. Their rendition of: Grieving-over it means: “Sorrow, melancholy; mourn; anxious, careworn; hidden sorrow…heart-sick and anxious.” One can receive this line under conditions of deep grief, wherein (as in any line of the I Ching), extremely subtle insights often transcend an exact paraphrase.
Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalms 127: 1
A. Whether simplistic, overconfident, or just naive, your assumptions in the matter at hand are incorrect. Do not act on them.
B. Desire for something to be true doesn't make it true. Correct your viewpoint. If sorrow is involved, accept it as your teacher.
C. Unwarranted overconfidence. Nothing can be done now.
D. There are no free rides -- wake up and serve the Work.
Line 6
Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows the advance of honesty and generosity. There will be good fortune, and no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Greathearted approach. Good fortune. No blame.
Blofeld: A magnanimous approach -- good fortune, no error.
Liu: Benevolent approach brings good fortune. No blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Magnanimity Nearing. Significant. Without fault.
Shaughnessy: Thick forest; auspicious; there is no trouble.
Cleary (2): Attentive overseeing is good and blameless.
Wu: Condescending with honesty is auspicious, etc.
Hua-Ching Ni: Sincere advancing. Good Fortune. No blame.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: This is because her will is focused on the first two lines of the lower trigram. Wilhelm/Baynes: The will is directed inward. Blofeld: This good fortune arises from concealing our will within our hearts. [This would seem to mean that, for the present, we should gladly accord with others and carefully conceal our aims.] Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose located inside indeed. Cleary (2): The good of attentive overseeing is in the will being within. Wu: Because his aspiration is directed inward.
Legge: Line six is at the top of the upper trigram of Docility. Although the first and second lines of the hexagram are not her proper correlates, it is proper for the yin to seek for the yang, and it is emphatically so in this case.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The sage returns from retirement to teach and help others, who greatly benefit from his experience.
Wing: The person in this position will allow others to benefit from the wealth of his experience. Such generosity will bring unaccountable progress to all concerned. This is a true moment of greatness.
Editor: An "advance of honesty" suggests truth: to be "honest" about something is to acknowledge its truth. "Generosity" implies the unselfish acceptance of this truth: perhaps a tolerant concession to a less-than-perfect status quo. Wilhelm renders the Confucian commentary in the imagery of the will being directed inward; Blofeld interprets it as magnanimity coupled with a hidden agenda which is not inconsistent with good will. Ritsema/ Karcher's "Purpose located inside indeed," reinforces this idea. Tolerance or leniency is definitely implied: Wilhelm describes a sage, retired from the world, generously lending his wisdom to the people. Psychologically, the image can suggest that advance in the situation at hand consists of turning inward for support: the developing ego concentrates on connecting with the perfect will of the Self.
Since the mind which persuades and that which is persuaded are one in their basic unity, true persuasion consists in revealing the truth of the oneness of existence. Prince Shotoku
A. A charitable forbearance with an imperfect world makes room for the Work to grow.
B. Ego/Self alignment facilitates profitable interaction with others.

Jugement
Legge: Persona doit être reconnue à sa juste valeur, mais il n'est pas avantageux de la laisser avancer et prendre la tête.
Wilhelm/Baynes:Grâce a du succès. Dans les petites affaires, il est favorable d'entreprendre quelque chose.
Blofeld: Élégance. Succès ! Un petit avantage peut être tiré d'avoir un objectif particulier (ou une destination). [L'implication est que l'avantage n'est pas suffisant pour justifier la recherche de cet objectif ou destination à moins qu'aucune difficulté ou inconvénient particulier ne soit impliqué. L'arrangement des lignes dans cet hexagramme est très similaire à celui du précédent, mais il est jugé beaucoup plus approprié. L'idée générale est que, comme la nature, nous devrions nous conformer à un modèle de comportement régulier et bien ordonné qui, puisque nous sommes des êtres humains et non de simples animaux, implique un haut degré de raffinement. Du point de vue de la divination, il semblerait que c'est un moment pour observer attentivement afin d'apprendre comment ceux impliqués dans la situation pensent et se comportent, pour mieux les influencer pour le bien lorsque l'occasion se présente.]
Liu:Gracilité, succès. Les petites entreprises bénéficient.
Ritsema/Karcher: Ornement, Croissance. Le petit, Récolte : posséder une direction. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de sa présentation extérieure. Il souligne que construire une valeur intrinsèque en embellissant l'apparence et en affichant de la vaillance est la manière adéquate de la gérer...]
Shaughnessy: Luxuriance : Réception ; un peu bénéfique d'avoir un endroit où aller.
Cleary (1):Ornement est développemental. Il est bénéfique d'aller quelque part de manière minimale.
Cleary (2):Ornement est réussi. Il est bénéfique d'aller quelque part de manière modeste.
Wu:Ornement est omniprésent et montre un petit avantage d'une entreprise. [Ornement ne change pas la nature de ce qu'il orne, mais rend simplement ce qu'il orne plus attrayant. En d'autres termes, le changement est principalement superficiel mais non substantiel…]
L'Image
Legge: Feu au pied de la montagne -- l'image de Persona. Ainsi l'homme supérieur orne sa règle avec grâce, mais prend des décisions importantes en conformité avec des lois supérieures.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Feu au pied de la montagne : l'image de Grâce. Ainsi procède l'homme supérieur lorsqu'il clarifie les affaires courantes. Mais il n'ose pas décider des questions controversées de cette manière.
Blofeld: Cet hexagramme symbolise le feu au pied d'une montagne. L'Homme Supérieur, désireux d'assurer le bon fonctionnement des divers départements de l'État, n'ose pas prendre de décisions légères concernant les affaires légales. [Les trigrammes composants, feu sous la montagne, suggèrent une brillance qui ne peut être perçue de loin. Les commentateurs chinois suggèrent que cela symbolise un extérieur ferme et quelque peu sévère qui cache la brillance et la beauté intérieure. Pour les besoins de la divination, cela devrait être pris comme un modèle pour notre comportement dans la question en jeu.]
Liu: Le feu illumine la base de la montagne symbolisant la Gracilité. Ainsi l'homme supérieur clarifie les affaires ordinaires, mais ne juge pas les procès.
Ritsema/Karcher: Sous la montagne possédant le feu. Ornement. Un chun tzu utilise l'éclaircissement des normes multiples sans oser trancher les litiges.
Cleary (1): Il y a du feu sous la montagne, ornant celle-ci. Ainsi les personnes supérieures clarifient les affaires gouvernementales, sans jugement présomptueux. [Ce que les personnes supérieures voient dans cela, c'est que tout comme la lumière d'un feu sous une montagne n'est pas grande, lorsque les gens manquent de capacité, leur vision n'est pas lointaine ; par conséquent, les personnes supérieures administrent et clarifient les simples affaires gouvernementales, et n'agissent pas présomptueusement dans les affaires difficiles de jugement… Ne pas juger présomptueusement a ainsi le sens de respect pour la vie.]
Wu: Il y a du feu au pied de la montagne ; c'est Ornement. Le jun zi apporte de l'ouverture à l'administration des affaires civiles, mais s'abstient de juger les affaires en litige criminel.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge: Dans Persona nous voyons la ligne magnétique centrale orner les lignes dynamiques du trigramme inférieur, et c'est pourquoi on dit que l'ornement doit avoir libre cours. D'autre part, la ligne dynamique supérieure orne les lignes magnétiques du trigramme supérieur, et c'est pourquoi on dit qu'il y aura peu d'avantage si l'ornement est autorisé à avancer et prendre la tête. L'élégance et l'intelligence du trigramme inférieur sont régulées par la retenue du trigramme supérieur. Cela suggère les observances qui ornent la société humaine. Nous observons les figures ornementales du ciel, et par là nous déterminons les changements des saisons. Nous observons les coutumes cérémonielles de la société, et comprenons comment la transformation est accomplie dans le monde.
Legge: Persona est le symbole de ce qui est ornemental et de l'acte d'orner. Comme il y a de l'ornement dans la nature, il devrait y en avoir dans la société, mais sa place est secondaire par rapport à ce qui est substantiel.
Les éditeurs de K'ang-hsi disent que la ligne magnétique venant orner les deux lignes dynamiques dans le trigramme inférieur montre comment la substantialité devrait bénéficier de l'ornementation. La ligne dynamique ornant les deux lignes magnétiques dans le trigramme supérieur montre comment l'ornementation devrait être restreinte par la substantialité. L'ornement a son utilité, mais il doit être contrôlé.
Les figures du ciel sont tous les corps célestes dans leurs positions relatives et divers mouvements, produisant le jour et la nuit, la chaleur et le froid, etc. Les observances de la société sont les cérémonies et performances qui régulent et embellissent l'interaction des hommes.
"Une montagne," dit Ch'eng-tzu, "est un endroit où l'on trouve de l'herbe, des arbres, et une centaine d'autres choses. Un feu brûlant en dessous projette sa lumière, et les met tous en beauté. Cela donne l'idée d'ornement, ou d'être orné. Les divers processus de gouvernement sont de petites affaires, et l'élégance et l'ornement aident leur cours, mais les grandes affaires de jugement exigent la simple vérité non ornée.”
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement: Il n'y a rien de mal à montrer un peu de style, mais ne vous identifiez pas tellement à un rôle qu'il prenne vos décisions à votre place.
L'Homme Supérieur affiche de l'esprit et du charme lorsque cela est approprié, mais s'appuie sur un discernement avisé lorsqu'il fait des choix sérieux.
Confucius souligne l'attitude correcte pour cet hexagramme dans sa troisième phrase -- l'intelligence élégante, ou "esprit brillant" du trigramme inférieur est "écrasée" par la montagne du trigramme supérieur. L'esprit brillant est souvent juste un "ornement" pour paraître intelligent en compagnie des autres. Comme l'assaisonnement sur la nourriture, un peu de Persona ou d'ornementation améliore la vie, mais trop de poudre de curry submerge le repas.
La conception de Jung de la Persona souligne le fait qu'elle est un véhicule majeur pour les complexes de s'exprimer sous le couvert de l'interaction sociale :
(La Persona) n'est qu'un masque pour le psychisme collectif, un masque qui feint l'individualité, et essaie de faire croire aux autres et à soi-même que l'on est individuel, alors qu'on ne fait que jouer un rôle dans lequel le psychisme collectif s'exprime. Jung -- Les Relations entre le Moi et l'Inconscient
Pour un employé de bureau urbain de porter des vêtements de cow-boy peut être une expression légitime de sa personnalité, ou cela peut être le seul exutoire disponible pour les parties réprimées de son psychisme. Lorsqu'il commence à conduire un pick-up et à fréquenter des bars Country-Western, nous pourrions soupçonner que son rôle le joue et que le vrai Soi est masqué par une ornementation excessive ou Persona.
La personne ne peut être plus qu'un instrument pour la manifestation du soi. Mais les gens s'attachent tellement à leur masque qu'ils ne peuvent plus s'en libérer ... Ils font un roi du serviteur et se séparent de leur véritable être. Ils forcent leur soi supérieur à l'exil, dans l'inconscient. Elisabeth Haich --Initiation
Recevoir cet hexagramme sans lignes changeantes suggère que vous êtes peut-être plus concentré sur la forme que sur le sens, ou que les apparences superficielles cachent quelque chose de plus substantiel dans la situation. Regardez plus profondément – que se passe-t-il vraiment ?
