Interpreting The I Ching - Hexagram 44 Kou

Name: Kou.

Keyphrase: Coming to meet.

Formed By The Trigrams: Heaven over Wind.

General: Pernicious influences must be resisted the moment you become aware of them.

Love: Do not allow harmful influences to affect your relationship.

Business: Protect your business from corruption and unethical practices. Great harm will result if you do not.

Personal: Unscrupulous and immoral people should be avoided.

Overview: Kou is about how easily virtue can be undermined and the need to prevent this from happening. Although situations you encounter may seem unimportant initially if you do not guard against them they will gather momentum and be extremely difficult to deal with. Don't underestimate how quickly this can happen. If you are tempted into meeting with unscrupulous people, acknowledge your own part in this mistake and remove yourself from their presence and the situation.
