Ever enigmatic, the Mawangdui says simply, "Ru (Short Coat), Moistening: There is a return; radiant receipt; determination is auspicious; beneficial to ford the great river."
22 centuries later this has grown into Xu, Waiting, and Professor Balkin offers two and on half pages of discussion.
Kan, The Abysmal, Water is still the public face for this hexagram, but this is the last such we will see during the rest of the build up to hexagram 63. The inner face is Chi'en, the primal male principle, Heaven. Water above Heaven, clouds? The ideograph, according to Professor Balkin, is either rain falling from clouds in the heavens or a person praying for rain. The judgment, per Balkin, is "Waiting. Sincerity and faithfulness bring shining success. Perseverance brings good fortune. It is beneficial to cross the great river." Absent other insights today, note the two frequently recurring portions, about perseverance and crossing the river. These metaphors deserve more attention than I have given them, for they are used so often one really can't be said to understand the judgment if one hasn't internalized the use of these metaphors.
Moist waiting in prayer for rain. Keep at it. Do what you know you should, even if it is a risk. Radiant receipt. There is a return.
Soon it will change.
