No. 44, Coming To Meet / Temptation:

"Coming to Meet. The maiden is poweful."

"The temptation to leave our path intrudes, either in reaction to the inferior nature of others, or because of internal pressure of our own desires. It is important to acknowledge this danger." Carol Anthony

We received this hexagram without changing lines, which means this Temptation is likely to be beckoning to you for the indefinite future. You need to identify it, right now, so you can deal with it correctly.

However, this may not represent a "danger" - it may be an opportunity. R.L. Wing views receiving Temptation in its static form as representing "a dynamic interaction that finds example in the prolific coming together of positive and negatives. From such encounters, great things are born and order is established. This may represent a renaissance within, a sudden enlightenment, or an encounter of true significance in the outside world. "

"If attitudes are correct and virtuous and no guile or cunning is involved to create imbalance, then this Temptation may well mark the birth of a new era."
