Hexagram 32

Hexagram 32: Duration

(Héng)

Persistence, endurance, and lasting relationships.

Overview

Not long ago you had to reach a good understanding with people. Now it is just as important to strengthen your contacts with colleagues. They need to become lasting, so that your efforts are not wasted.

If you wonder why relationships need to be steady, this sign gives the answer: if you break a relationship off, at some point you will lose everything you have gained.

In short, you are learning how to build lasting friendships and working relationships. Later they will take you to a completely new level. Without them it will be very hard to carry out most of your ideas.

To succeed in life, try to meet two conditions: stay in touch with your friends and colleagues, and make sure those ties last.

People around you

Try to answer this question for yourself: have you managed to stop dreaming alone and bring other people into your plans? If your answer is yes, then this is the key to your future success and your chance to reach a new level.

Try to be disciplined and to act according to your plan. While looking for like-minded people you may make a mistake and turn to the wrong person. That is not a problem, since everything comes with experience. Soon you will become skilled at dealing with people.

Work

Since everything you do involves other people, your work must be planned clearly. Actions taken without a clear understanding of the final goal will lead nowhere. Follow the road you have planned in advance.

Your wish

Your wish will come true in the near future, and you can be completely sure of that. But do not try to get everything at once, because other people's interests are involved as well.

Be patient and move toward your goal step by step.
