Hexagram #26

Hexagram #26 is called Great Accumulating or The Taming Power of the Great.  It is the visual inverse of the preceding hexagram.

This hexagram comes to tell you to focus all your concentration and energies on a central idea.  Pursue it with everything you have.  The time is right for this.  Move forward, out of your comfort zone and towards the thing you are pursuing.  Be firm and persistent, nourishing your connection to what you seek.  This is a great time for you, when you are well connected to forces that will aid you.

The trigrams that make up this hexagram are mountain over heaven (the creative).  This suggests a mountain that reaches up to the sky,  a majestic sight that can be seen for miles and miles.  The nuclear hexagram is #54, Converting the Maiden.  This suggests a hidden possibility of realizing your potential.

The first changing line warns you that this is a dangerous time.  Stop now, and it will be of benefit to you.  The second changing line suggests that you have lost your connection to the forces that will aid you.  Correct this now, or you cannot move forward.  The third changing line advises you that the work ahead will be tedious and unpleasant, but the end result will be worth it.  The fourth changing line encourages you that you are gathering strength.  The fifth line tells you that an obstacle to your pursuit has been removed.  The sixth line encourages you that you are strongly connected to forces that will aid you.  Move forward.
