H E X A G R A M  6 :  A U T H E N T I C I T Y

This I Ching Hexagram illustrates that when you are being authentic, you may feel obstructed or misunderstood by others. A cautious halt halfway brings success in the sense of meeting another in the middle to regain their trust. You are asked to let go of your defenses to gain support.

 

The hidden influence of Family suggests that discussing expectations and agreeing upon roles can heal the situation. However, early family conditioning can often be at the root of why we experience conflict. Their way is not necessarily your way, and conflict can come to remove the mask that hides your authentic self. The underlying cause of your conflict was a time when you avoided contention to hide your inner light, but a purely selfish approach from others may have brought this situation about. It is time to let go of what you are defending in a path toward true authenticity of Self.
