Hexagram Meaning

The Oracle Speaks

Earth above lake — the receptive ground approaches the joyous water. Great success. By the eighth month there will be misfortune. Spring advances but autumn will come. Two yang lines grow from below — expansion is underway. Teach, guide, oversee with dedication. But prepare for the season to change.

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

Joint approach. Perseverance brings good fortune. Coming together with the right team at the start.

Line 2 (Yang — solid)

Joint approach. Good fortune. Everything furthers. The momentum is real and shared.

Line 3 (Yin — broken)

Comfortable approach. Nothing that would further. If one is induced to grieve, one becomes free of blame. Approaching without urgency breeds complacency.

Line 4 (Yin — broken)

Complete approach. No blame. Open-door leadership — accessible to all.

Line 5 (Yin — broken)

Wise approach. This is right for a great prince. Good fortune. The architect approaches the system with mature judgment.

Line 6 (Yin — broken) — Top

Great-hearted approach. Good fortune. No blame. Generous engagement with full commitment.
