Hexagram Meaning

The Oracle Speaks

Wind blows across heaven — it cannot yet bring rain. Dense clouds, no rain from the western regions. The gentle force of a single yin line restrains five yang lines. Small progress through soft power. You cannot force the deployment; apply steady pressure through incremental commits.

The Six Lines — Changing Line Oracles

When a line is “changing” (old yin or old yang), its oracle activates. These texts reveal the specific mutation occurring at that position in the hexagram.

Line 1 (Yang — solid) — Bottom

Return to the way. How could there be blame? Good fortune. Reset to the known-good state.

Line 2 (Yang — solid)

Being drawn into returning. Good fortune. Pulled back to the correct branch by a colleague.

Line 3 (Yang — solid)

The spokes burst out of the wagon wheels. Husband and wife roll their eyes. Infrastructure failure disrupts even close partnerships.

Line 4 (Yin — broken)

With sincerity, blood vanishes and fear gives way. No blame. Honest disclosure prevents the worst outcome.

Line 5 (Yang — solid)

With sincerity, bound together. Wealth shared with neighbors. Mutual trust enables shared resources.

Line 6 (Yang — solid) — Top

Rain comes, rest is achieved. Value is loaded to the full. The woman perseveres, yet danger looms. The moon is nearly full. The buffer is at capacity — deploy now or lose the window.
