Judgment
Legge: Approach means successful progress through firm correctness. In the eighth month there will be evil.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Approach has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. When the eighth month comes, there will be misfortune.
Blofeld:Approach.Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward. However, when the eighth month is reached, misfortune will befall. [The eighth moon of the lunar calendar corresponds approximately to September.]
Liu: Approach. Great Success. It is of benefit to continue. When the eighth month arrives, then there will be misfortune.
Ritsema/Karcher: Nearing, Spring Growing Harvesting Trial. Culminating tending-towards the eighth moon: possessing a pitfall. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of approaching and being approached. It emphasizes that acting without immediately expecting to attain what you desire is the adequate way to handle it...]
Shaughnessy: The Forest: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine; arriving at the eighth month there is inauspiciousness.
Cleary (1):Overseeing is creative and developmental, beneficial if correct. In the eighth month there is misfortune.
Cleary (2):Overseeing is very successful, beneficial if correct. If you go on until the eighth month, there will be misfortune. [If you ride on the momentum of the time and do not know to turn back, at a certain point deterioration will inevitably set in, after flourishing has reached its climax, and there will surely be misfortune.]
Wu:Condescension is great, pervasive, and persevering, etc. [Condescension as used in several judgments has two meanings: to condescend (or to look down from a higher position) and to press forward with authority.]
Hua-Ching Ni: Advance. It is beneficial to go forward with a positive attitude, but be mindful of the cyclical nature of things.
The Image
Legge: The earth over a marsh -- the image of Approach. The superior man is inexhaustible in his instruction and unflagging in his nourishing support of the people.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The earth above the lake: the image of Approach. Thus the superior man is inexhaustible in his will to teach, and without limits in his tolerance and protection of the people.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes land rising above a marsh. The Superior Man's teaching and his affection for his juniors are inexhaustible. Nothing hinders him in his care for the people. [The lower component trigram suggests the nourishment which the Superior Man gives joyfully to others. The upper trigram symbolizes the great bulk of those who benefit.]
Liu: The earth above the lake symbolizes Approach. The superior man's will for instruction has no limit. He is boundless in his support and protection of the people.
Ritsema/Karcher: Above marsh possessing earth. Nearing. A chun tzu uses teaching to ponder without exhausting. [A chun tzu uses] tolerating to protect the commoners without delimiting.
Cleary (1): Above the lake there is earth, overseeing. Superior people use
inexhaustibility of education and thought to embrace and protect the people without bound.
Wu: There is ground above the marsh; this is Condescension. Thus the jun zi realizes that there is no limit to the ideas of education and there is no boundary in the protection of people.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: In Approach we see the dynamic lines gradually increasing and advancing. The lower trigram is the symbol of Being Pleased, and the upper of Being Compliant. The strong line is in the central position, and is properly responded to. It is the way of heaven to bring progress and success through firm correctness, however the advancing power will decay after no long time.
Legge: Approach suggests the approach of authority -- to inspect, to comfort or to rule. The figure shows two dynamic lines advancing on the four magnetic lines above them. Their action will be powerful and successful, but it must be governed by rectitude and a caution that understands the nature of continuous change.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Two steps forward are followed by one step backward.
The Superior Man remains true to the Work regardless of fluctuations within the psyche.
The meaning of Approach is derived from the two dynamic lines advancing from below to encounter the magnetic lines above. These two are firm allies, and the action of the superior man in the Image suggests that their ascent is one of benevolent regard for the welfare of their subordinates -- only the third line need change for the hexagram to become number eleven, Harmony. We are reminded of the proper relationship between the ego and the Self -- when they advance together, the magnetic forces in the rest of the psyche are eventually transformed.
This hexagram recognizes the inevitably slow progress of the Work (" Rome wasn't built in a day"), and that advances are always followed by retreats. The point is that if one maintains the will to advance, one can be confident that the Work is advancing, regardless of appearances.
(Confucius) tried his best, but the issue he left to Ming. Ming is often translated as Fate, Destiny or Decree. To Confucius, it meant the Decree of Heaven or Will of Heaven ... Thus to know Ming means to acknowledge the inevitability of the world as it exists, and so to disregard one's external success or failure. If we can act in this way, we can, in a sense, never fail. For if we do our duty that duty through our very act is morally done, regardless of the external success or failure of our action. Fung Yu-Lan -- A Short History of Chinese Philosophy
Without changing lines, the hexagram suggests a progressive advance in the matter at hand. Nature being what it is however, no advance can be sustained indefinitely and an eventual regression can be expected. (This observation is such a truism that we must assume it is more than usually applicable to the current situation.)
Line 2
Legge: The second line, dynamic, shows its subject advancing in company with the subject of the first line. There will be good fortune; advancing will be in every way advantageous.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Joint approach. Good fortune. Everything furthers.
Blofeld: All approach -- good fortune! Nothing is unfavorable. [All approach can be taken to mean that all things desirable are converging upon us.]
Liu: To approach with sincerity brings good fortune. It is beneficial for everything.
Ritsema/Karcher: Conjunction Nearing: significant. Without not Harvesting.
Shaughnessy: Prohibited forest; auspicious; there is nothing not beneficial.
Cleary (2): Sensitive overseeing is good, beneficial all around. [The second yang is also in the momentum of gradually increasing strength, but at this point it is best to keep still and not ride on the momentum to try to advance; then it will be good and beneficial all around.]
Wu: Pressing forward with a companion will be auspicious. Everything will be advantageous.
Hua-Ching Ni: Impartial advance without prejudice continues…
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: This is because those to whom the advance is made are not yet obedient to the ordinances of heaven. Wilhelm/Baynes: One need not yield to fate. Blofeld: This indicates that there is nevertheless some disobedience. Ritsema/Karcher: Not-yet yielding-to fate indeed. Cleary (2): This is addressed to those who are not yet in harmony with the universal order. Wu: There are still those who do not obey the ordinances of heaven. [Since prosperity of the yang is considered a good omen and meets the approval of heaven, presence of the four yin in the yang’s path of advance is indicative of disobeying the ordinances of heaven.]
Legge: Line two is dynamic, but in a magnetic place. This is counterbalanced by the central position and the proper correlate in line five.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: People who are not obedient to the ways of heaven are induced to follow the steadfast man in a high position. The future will be advantageous in every way.
Wing: What you propose to do wins sympathy and support from higher forces. So correct are your ideals that you can overcome even inherent difficulties. The future is bright indeed.
Editor: The differences in meaning between lines one and two are extremely slight in English translation. Cleary’s Buddhist commentary on the line suggests the idea of controlling the momentum of an otherwise favorable action. (See also his commentary on the Judgment.) Wu’s note on the Confucian commentary shows line two in immediate contact with four yin lines, interpreted here as recalcitrant forces. On another tack, if we take Ritsema/Karcher's version of "Conjunction Nearing: significant...” literally, we can imagine two possible approaching syntheses (line 1 and line 2), one of which may be more auspicious than the other. Only the context of your query can provide a plausible interpretation of these very different readings.
If Jung's method is used in the analysis, the change initiated by the conflict proceeds under the guidance of the individual's own unconscious. The analyst does not assume that he knows the answer to the problem but sets out with his patient to explore the unconscious and seek the solution. He is necessary to the proceeding because he has a technique for interpreting the obscure unconscious material thrown up in the dreams and fantasies; also, he is needed as a fixed point to which the patient can cling during the transition, when all values are under question and all landmarks may disappear. M. E. Harding -- Psychic Energy
A. An approaching conjunction of forces (or obvious choices) will nullify an adverse bias in the situation.
B. An alliance for progress furthers the Work.
C. Ego and Self administer the psyche.
Line 6
Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows the advance of honesty and generosity. There will be good fortune, and no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Greathearted approach. Good fortune. No blame.
Blofeld: A magnanimous approach -- good fortune, no error.
Liu: Benevolent approach brings good fortune. No blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Magnanimity Nearing. Significant. Without fault.
Shaughnessy: Thick forest; auspicious; there is no trouble.
Cleary (2): Attentive overseeing is good and blameless.
Wu: Condescending with honesty is auspicious, etc.
Hua-Ching Ni: Sincere advancing. Good Fortune. No blame.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: This is because her will is focused on the first two lines of the lower trigram. Wilhelm/Baynes: The will is directed inward. Blofeld: This good fortune arises from concealing our will within our hearts. [This would seem to mean that, for the present, we should gladly accord with others and carefully conceal our aims.] Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose located inside indeed. Cleary (2): The good of attentive overseeing is in the will being within. Wu: Because his aspiration is directed inward.
Legge: Line six is at the top of the upper trigram of Docility. Although the first and second lines of the hexagram are not her proper correlates, it is proper for the yin to seek for the yang, and it is emphatically so in this case.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The sage returns from retirement to teach and help others, who greatly benefit from his experience.
Wing: The person in this position will allow others to benefit from the wealth of his experience. Such generosity will bring unaccountable progress to all concerned. This is a true moment of greatness.
Editor: An "advance of honesty" suggests truth: to be "honest" about something is to acknowledge its truth. "Generosity" implies the unselfish acceptance of this truth: perhaps a tolerant concession to a less-than-perfect status quo. Wilhelm renders the Confucian commentary in the imagery of the will being directed inward; Blofeld interprets it as magnanimity coupled with a hidden agenda which is not inconsistent with good will. Ritsema/ Karcher's "Purpose located inside indeed," reinforces this idea. Tolerance or leniency is definitely implied: Wilhelm describes a sage, retired from the world, generously lending his wisdom to the people. Psychologically, the image can suggest that advance in the situation at hand consists of turning inward for support: the developing ego concentrates on connecting with the perfect will of the Self.
Since the mind which persuades and that which is persuaded are one in their basic unity, true persuasion consists in revealing the truth of the oneness of existence. Prince Shotoku
A. A charitable forbearance with an imperfect world makes room for the Work to grow.
B. Ego/Self alignment facilitates profitable interaction with others.

Jugement
Legge :La Nourriture indique une bonne fortune par une fermeté correcte. Assurez-vous de savoir ce que vous nourrissez et déterminez votre régime approprié.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Les Coins de la Bouche. La persévérance apporte la bonne fortune. Faites attention à la fourniture de nourriture et à ce qu'un homme cherche à remplir sa propre bouche.
Blofeld : Nourrir. (Nourriture -- littéralement Mâchoires) [La forme de cet hexagramme évoque facilement le concept de mâchoires grandes ouvertes, mais le mot nourriture ne doit pas être pris uniquement au sens littéral ; car nous nous intéressons ici à toutes ces choses que les hommes recherchent à la fois pour leur propre avantage et pour apporter secours ou assistance aux autres.] La persistance juste apporte la bonne fortune. Observez les gens nourrir les autres et voyez avec quelles choses ils cherchent à se nourrir eux-mêmes. [Car cela nous en apprendra beaucoup sur leur caractère.]
Liu : Nourriture. Continuer mène à la bonne fortune. Observez la fourniture de nourriture et la nourriture que quelqu'un cherche pour lui-même.
Ritsema/Karcher : Mâchoires, Épreuve : significatif. Observer les Mâchoires. Provenant de la recherche de substance pour la bouche. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de nourrir et d'être nourri. Il souligne que s'ouvrir pour prendre des choses ainsi que fournir aux autres est la manière adéquate de le gérer...]
Shaughnessy :Mâchoires : La détermination est de bon augure. Voir la mâchoire ; soi-même cherchant la plénitude de la bouche.
Cleary (1) : Dans la nourriture, il est bon d'être correct. Observez la nourriture, et cherchez l'accomplissement pour la bouche par vous-même.
Cleary (2) : Nourriture est bonne si correcte. Observez la nourriture, et cherchez la nourriture par vous-même.
Wu : Nourrir indique qu'avec persévérance il y aura de l'auspice. Les gens devraient observer le principe de nourrir et trouver des aliments appropriés pour la nourriture.
Hua-Ching Ni : Dans la nourriture, on devrait chercher la bonne nutrition et ne pas être tenté par ce que les autres apprécient.
L'Image
Legge : L'image du tonnerre sous une montagne forme la Nourriture. L'homme supérieur, en accord avec cela, contrôle son discours et régule sa nourriture et sa boisson.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Au pied de la montagne, le tonnerre : l'image des Coins de la Bouche. Ainsi l'homme supérieur est prudent dans ses paroles et modéré dans sa nourriture et sa boisson.
Blofeld : Cet hexagramme symbolise le tonnerre grondant au pied d'une montagne. L'Homme Supérieur est réfléchi dans son discours et frugal dans sa nourriture et sa boisson. [Le trigramme inférieur, le tonnerre, représente également le pouvoir de croissance rapide ; d'où sa place dans un hexagramme concerné par la nourriture.]
Liu : Le tonnerre roulant autour du pied de la montagne est le symbole de la Nourriture. L'homme supérieur est prudent dans son discours ; il se retient et régule sa nourriture et sa boisson.
Ritsema/Karcher : Sous la montagne possédant le tonnerre. Mâchoires. Un chun tzu utilise des mots réfléchis pour informer. [Un chun tzu utilise] articuler pour boire et prendre.
Cleary (1) : Il y a du tonnerre sous la montagne. Les personnes supérieures sont prudentes dans ce qu'elles disent, et modérées dans leur nourriture et leur boisson.
Cleary (2) : … Les dirigeants sont prudents dans leur discours, modérés dans leur consommation.
Wu : Il y a du tonnerre sous la montagne ; c'est Nourrir. Ainsi le jun zi parle avec prudence et boit et mange avec modération.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge : Lorsque la nourriture est correcte, il y aura de la bonne fortune. Nous devons examiner ceux que nous souhaitons nourrir, et nous devons également examiner notre propre nourriture. Le ciel et la terre nourrissent toutes choses. Les sages nourrissent les hommes de talent et de vertu pour atteindre les masses. Grand est le travail prévu au moment de nourrir.
Legge : Le caractère dela Nourriture est le symbole de la mâchoire supérieure, mais l'image de l'hexagramme suggère une bouche entière avec des lignes non divisées en haut et en bas, et des lignes divisées entre elles. La ligne du bas est dans le trigramme du Mouvement, et la ligne du haut est dans le trigramme de la Stabilité -- donnant l'image d'une mâchoire inférieure mobile et d'une mâchoire supérieure fixe. Les lignes divisées représentent la cavité buccale. L'hexagramme dénote la nourriture du corps ou de l'esprit, de soi-même ou des autres, et la nourriture appropriée dans chaque cas doit nécessairement varier selon les circonstances. Ainsi, le jugement doit être exercé pour déterminer quelle nourriture est en harmonie avec la correction et la vertu.
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement :La Nourriture vous demande d'examiner vos motivations dans l'allocation de votre énergie. La volonté crée une répartition bien équilibrée.
L'Homme Supérieur contrôle son expression et surveille ses appétits.
Les lignes dans le trigramme inférieur du Mouvement sont toutes rendues défavorablement à un degré ou à un autre, tandis que les lignes du trigramme supérieur de la Stabilité sont toutes généralement correctes. L'implication est que la non-action est presque toujours préférable au mouvement. Cette idée est fondamentale pour la philosophie du I Ching, et dans l'hexagramme de la Nourriture la leçon est que la non-action nourrit et renforce le psychisme.
Toutes les actions sont l'expression de l'énergie psychique à travers un corps physique pour créer un effet dans l'espace-temps. Chaque effet crée des conséquences qui exigent généralement une action supplémentaire. Il est facile de voir que l'action qui n'est pas initiée par le Soi ne peut que résulter en conséquences inattendues, et que l'action qui se conforme à la volonté du Soi est motivée par et dirigée vers un objectif transcendant. Bien que la non-action correcte ne crée généralement pas de conséquences négatives dans l'espace-temps, elle a des conséquences nourrissantes dans le psychisme car des forces autonomes sont rassemblées, digérées, assimilées et renouvelées dans des configurations ascendantes de croissance.
Comme ce Chemin représente la structure de l'[ego], l'attribution de la Bouche nous rappelle que le but de l'incarnation est la recherche de la nourriture de l'expérience en Forme pour le bénéfice du [Soi] et de l'Esprit. Gareth Knight -- Symbolisme Qabalistique
