I Ching Hexagram 17: Following, astrological interpretation

I-Ching Category

Interpretation: This situation requires particular attention, perseverance, patience, and continuity. It is about moving on to a later phase relative to what may have been initiated beforehand.
We owe it to ourselves to implement an “absence of resistance” and embrace movement, as this is not a time for being a leader or initiating or contesting things, but rather for determining whom and what to agree with.
It’s like a river, which runs its course, embracing the contours of the terrain, where its path is dictated by laws and by some deep logic, and it has only to take its own winding route: it knows that everything ends up in the ocean.

Astrological points to pay attention to: This symbolism is a mixture of the elemental energies of Earth, in particular those of Saturn, for its steadfastness and follow-through, including in unattractive situations, as long as durability is involved, with those of Water, for the polymorphous nature of things that is required here and because this implies following old logic or other people’s reasoning, all without trying to interfere.
Martian and solar forces may be put “in parentheses,” as least to some degree (let’s just say that they are not imperative for continuity, and forces of the Anima may be more predominant in terms of their receptiveness and passiveness.
When it comes to aspects, we may encounter the Trine if this phase is harmonious, and there may also be some rather tense “minor” aspects if it is dissonant. These minor aspects constitute temporary phases between “major” aspects, so they include for example the Quincunx, Sesquisquare, and Semisquare.

Remarks: this hexagram mostly indicates “movement,” or “vibrating waves” in a way, a bit like when we throw a pebble into the water and each concentric wave automatically follows the others.
