Hex 38 – Opposition

This hexagram of ‘the others’, which may be people, or gods and spirits. It means also the unknown others one stares at, those one feels different from, or simply are not oneself: standing face to face with you, talking or silent, nice or unfriendly.

Taken from Yijin an excellent source of The I Ching

The 7/9 Hex 38 creates a block of 12 cubes with 2/8, 7, 9, 8/5 being double up at the centre. 2/8/5 are interchangeable Earth energies. Unfortunately when I try to make this pattern into a cube I come across problems. Is it because the repeating outer numbers are the same both horizontally and vertically? 6, 5, 1 and (3) with (4), 6, 2, 1. Six's same, 1's same, 2/5 same, 3/4 both tree/air energy but at least different numbers.

There is opposition to be faced with this hexagram does that mean that it is creating something of a mirror image rather than different 1 to 9 numbers in each section of the 6 faces.

I am disappointed because it means that the cube I have been able to create for Nine Star Ki with the year number to the front and the month number to the rear cannot always be made into a cube. I wonder how many can and how many cant. (See later Map)

This is creating three rows of numbers with four columns, 12 in all, the centre is not four cubes in a square shape as it has been before in other examples. Also I find that being a number 1 I tend to work with patterns with my own 1/7 numbers as a guide, number one tends to play games with me by matching up or being happy with other numbers and creating wonderful patterns which get me all Eureka only to find it only works with the number one.

Conclusion : We still have our set of cubes to work from but we cannot always create a cube from them. 

As you can see from the cube above the four sides are all okay with all numbers 1 to 9 appearing in them but the top and bottom are not as they should be. The bottom has 3 and 1 twice and no 4 or 9. The top has 6 and 4 twice and no 3 or 7. So difficulty comes with this nine star ki combination when it comes to creating a cube.
