Hexagram 17
-----------------------------------------------------
Primary Hexagram:
Hexagram Thirty-Seven:
Chia Jen / Family Duties
Warming Air Currents
rise and spread
from the Hearthfire:
The Superior Person
weighs his words carefully
and is consistent
in his behavior.
Be as faithful
as a good wife.
Hexagram 37 is also called by the name 'Extended Family':
A family that thrives is one where a healthy interdependence is cultivated. Respect for different roles is essential. A common example is between a wife and a husband whose shared authority is critical. In fact, strong and harmonious kinship is dependent upon every member of the family or tribe. Trust, shared responsibilities, and good communication are primary values. Each person must be encouraged to find his or her position and appropriate contribution.
A harmonious family is a team that symbolizes the ideal of human interdependence, and has long provided a foundation for society. The healthy family is an embryo of community and the native soil in which ethical values take root and grow. Fertilize this soil, and the entire society benefits.
The forces that bind a family are a balance of feminine and masculine — the nurturing and receptive combined with outgoing leadership and taking responsibility. In other words, good parenting. A parent’s words should be consistent, have meaning and power. Siblings’ relationships between themselves and their parents carry variations of feminine and masculine energies too. Relations on all kinds of teams are improved through cultivation of a yin/yang, open/responsible balance. Learn to listen and receive help from others, and be willing to assume an appropriate role in any group you belong with. A good team player is supremely valuable to everyone.
Hexagram of Resolution:
Hexagram Seventeen:
Sui / Following
Thunder beneath
the Lake's surface.
The Superior Person
allows himself
plenty of sheltered rest
and recuperation
while awaiting
a clear sign to follow.
Supreme success.
No mistakes
if you keep to your course.
Hexagram 17 is also called by the name 'Following':
Choosing to follow good influences brings supreme success. You may not be able to change the direction of the wind, but by frequently adjusting your sails, you can arrive at your destination with a joy that inspires others to follow you.
Those who would acquire a following must speak the language of their followers. Those who would be loved must become the imagined lover of their beloved. Those who would prosper must bend with the pressures of the world. In matters of principle, stand firm; in matters of style and taste, swim with the current. If guile or self-aggrandizement enters the equation, resistance will be what follows. Focus on the common good in order to remain unharmed.
In the affairs of humanity, change is constant and old ideas are discarded in favor of new ones. A great leader can emerge only by being adaptable to the demands of the times. Similarly, only by adjusting to changing circumstances can one prosper in the world of commerce. Remain flexible, and you will gain the confidence of those around you. Bend and you shall not break.
Balance activity with some relaxation to be able to serve the situation well and to help maintain a state of healthy energy, minimizing both internal and external resistance to your goals.

From other commentators:
Hexagram Thirty-Seven/Line Four:
She is the jewel of the home,
the family's greatest blessing.
Line 4
Successful bonding is promoted by skillful moderation within the group. Balancing income and expenditures brings vast good fortune.
Hexagram Thirty-Seven/Line Six:
He sincerely wants to be fair.
This brings respect
to the father
Line 6
You are confident, and your efforts command respect. This is a time of reward and recognition. Remember that the leader of a circle of influence -- a group of friends, teammates or family -- has a responsibility to set a good example. It is through developing your own character that you influence others and create order.
