Hexagram Name:
Shi He Hexagram [Supreme Auspicious Hexagram] The Combination of Firmness and Softness
Image Interpretation:
Being unlucky is like suffering from hunger; fortunately, food and meals are brought to you. The palatable food fills your stomach, and your heart is filled with joy; worries will gradually fade away from now on. This hexagram is an overlap of different trigrams (Zhen below and Li above). Li is a yin trigram; Zhen is a yang trigram. The interaction between yin and yang is like biting through hard objects, which metaphorically signifies the combination of kindness and authority, leniency and strictness, as well as firmness and softness. "Shi He" (噬嗑) refers to the occlusion of the upper and lower jaws for chewing.
Career:
Difficulties and obstacles are extremely great. You should overcome all kinds of misfortunes with a strong will, bold actions, and an impartial and selfless attitude to strive for an improvement in the situation. To get out of danger as soon as possible, you may take tough measures when necessary, even resorting to legal means.

What is the I Ching Oracle Sticks
The
I Ching (
Book of Changes) encompasses all things and regulates all beings, standing as an outstanding representative of the traditional culture of the Han ethnicity. It is traditionally said to have been written by King Wen. The sixty-four hexagrams of the
I Ching, also referred to as "Golden Hexagram Divination" or "Coin Divination", are believed to have been created by King Wen of Zhou. It is said that divination based on these sixty-four hexagrams is highly accurate. The sixty-four hexagrams of the
I Ching, through their combinations, reflect the philosophy of life and the laws governing the operation of nature under sixty-four different specific circumstances such as things, situations, and phenomena. Each of the sixty-four hexagrams consists of six lines (yao) and line statements (yaoci), corresponding to 384 states. Through the changes brought about by these state variations, one can understand the way all things in the world operate and the philosophy of life.
