I Ching Hexagram 5
The hexagram 5 of the I Ching, Waiting, consists of the Cloud on top and the Sky on the bottom. It symbolizes a situation of accumulation of Clouds without the onset of rain. It means Waiting for the rain, that is, waiting for the springing of results, which are already visible but distant. Accumulation is at work, but the distance of the clouds indicates that it is not possible to accelerate it to make the rain arrive quickly. All we have to do is to wait and take advantage of the clear weather to enjoy the current conditions without worrying about projects.
Quick guide for interpretation
