Hexagram Meaning

䷩

The Oracle Speaks

Wind and thunder — they increase each other. Decrease above, increase below. The ruler diminishes what is above to increase what is below: the people rejoice. Cross the great water. This is the season of growth, the sprint where velocity doubles. The resources flow downward and outward. When you see good, imitate it; when you have faults, correct them.

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

It furthers to accomplish great deeds. Supreme good fortune. No blame. The time is right for major initiatives.

Line 2 (Yin — broken)

Someone does indeed increase him. Ten pairs of tortoises cannot oppose it. Constant perseverance brings good fortune. Unstoppable momentum from cosmic alignment.

Line 3 (Yin — broken)

One is enriched through unfortunate events. No blame, if you are sincere and walk in the middle. Report to the prince with a seal. Learning from failures — every crash improves the architecture.

Line 4 (Yin — broken)

Walking in the middle and reporting to the prince. It furthers to be used in the removal of the capital. The advisor who guides the great migration — trusted with the biggest moves.

Line 5 (Yang — solid)

With a true heart, seek to benefit others. Supreme good fortune. True kindness is recognized as the highest virtue. Altruistic code contributions.

Line 6 (Yang — solid) — Top

He brings increase to no one. Indeed, someone strikes him. He does not keep his heart constant. Misfortune. Selfish hoarding during the season of increase brings karmic correction.
