Hexagram Meaning
The Oracle Speaks
Wind blows over the earth — seen everywhere, reaching everywhere. The watchtower overlooks the entire system. The hands are washed but the offering not yet made — the state of readiness before action. Observe deeply before committing. The monitoring dashboard reveals truth before deployment.
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
Boy-like contemplation. Not blame for inferior people but humiliation for a great person. Superficial observation is childish.
Line 2 (Yin — broken)
Contemplation through the crack of the door. Furthering for the perseverance of a woman. Narrow perspective yields narrow truth.
Line 3 (Yin — broken)
Contemplation of my life. Advance or retreat? Self-monitoring — review your own commit history.
Line 4 (Yang — solid)
Contemplation of the light of the kingdom. It furthers to act as a guest of a king. Observe the master system from a privileged vantage point.
Line 5 (Yang — solid)
Contemplation of my life. The superior person is without blame. Deep self-audit reveals alignment with purpose.
Line 6 (Yin — broken) — Top
Contemplation of his life. The superior person is without blame. Observing the impact of one's code on the whole system.
