No. 26, Taming Power of the Great / Potential Energy

"The Taming Power of the Great. Perseverance furthers.Not eating at home brings good fortune.It furthers one to cross the great water."

"Potential Energy in its static form is explosive," according to R.L. Wing, and that's what we have here. We received this hexagram without changing lines. The energy is there. Your challenge is how to contain and control - to Tame - it.

Think of this energy as gunpowder. If you light a little gunpowder, you'll get a nice flash and some sizzle, and then it will be gone. If you contain and control it in the barrel of a gun, however, you can use it to hit a target. Translation: You may need steely strength and determination to make the best use of this energy.

"Not eating at home brings good fortune" means you should be sharing this form of energy with others, not consuming it all yourself.
