Hexagram 09 – The Taming Power of the Small – Rich I Ching

Clouds Gather but No Rain Falls

This describes a long drought where plants wither, and people desperately long for rain.

Yet, despite the sky being covered with clouds, no rain comes. – For now, patience is required.

The hexagram “Xiăo Chù” (小畜) means “Accumulation is still small,” indicating that the resources are not yet sufficient.

The climate remains stable, allowing for temporary ease; however, disputes and illness may bring anxiety. Financially, you are in a “drought” and urgently need a “downpour.” In such an unfavorable situation, patience is crucial.

The ancients wisely said: “Great wealth is destined by heaven, small wealth comes from frugality.” First, tighten your belt to sustain your business, while actively seeking new sources of capital.
