2. THE RECEPTIVE (Earth above, earth below)

Great receptivity attracts exceptional bounty. A natural responsiveness attracts success through support and perseverance, rather than through bold action. Thus, the wise person demonstrates strength like a powerful but gentle mare. This hexagram, consisting of all yin lines, represents a power of the feminine principle that has not been honored in our modern world, but such receptivity is much more powerful than we think and most auspicious. The receptive force is sensual and subtle and can be missed by too much thinking, talking and planning. When spring comes, does the grass "plan" to grow? This is a time to concentrate on realities rather than potentials - with how to respond to a situation rather than how to direct it. The mature feminine allows herself to be guided by a higher power and is skilled at graceful acceptance. In a strong spiritual way, her quiet contribution is effective and brings success. Do not be overly assertive. If you try to direct things now, you are liable to become confused or alienated. Opening up to receive what you attract should be your primary concern. Take your time. Draw strength from carefulness and you will be doubly fortunate. Focus more on feeling than on action. Be broad and deep in your attitude so that you accept everything that comes with grace and equanimity. Be receptive and spacious like the ocean; let the river of changes flow to you. You might allow a partner to take the lead for now. Strive for a natural responsiveness that is based on inner strength rather than outer show. You will be able to go further now by letting go of control, rather than forging ahead under your own steam. Receptive power comes through an alignment with the Creative, not opposition to it.
