Hexagram Meaning
The Oracle Speaks
Thunder rolls over the earth — the force of devotion that moves all things. Enthusiasm comes from aligning with the way of heaven. Install helpers, set armies marching, ride the wave of inspired momentum. Music harmonizes the hearts of the people. The release event that energizes the entire team.
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 (Yin — broken) — Bottom
Enthusiasm that expresses itself brings misfortune. Premature celebration. The demo crashes at the keynote.
Line 2 (Yin — broken)
Firm as a rock. Not a whole day. Perseverance brings good fortune. Grounded enthusiasm endures.
Line 3 (Yin — broken)
Enthusiasm that looks upward creates remorse. Hesitation brings regret. Don't wait for permission to be inspired.
Line 4 (Yang — solid)
The source of enthusiasm. Great things are achieved. Gather friends around you like a hairclip gathers hair. You are the catalyst.
Line 5 (Yin — broken)
Persistently ill but never dies. Chronic problems that somehow never kill the project.
Line 6 (Yin — broken) — Top
Deluded enthusiasm. After completion, changing brings no blame. Even misguided passion can be redirected.
