Hexagram Meaning
The Oracle Speaks
Wind beneath heaven — the influence spreads everywhere. The maiden is powerful. Do not marry such a maiden. One yin line sneaks in from below among five yang lines — a subtle, potentially corrupting influence. The unexpected encounter that changes everything. Be aware: what seems small and yielding may quietly take over the entire system.
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
It must be checked with a brake of bronze. Perseverance brings good fortune. But if one lets it take its course, one experiences misfortune. Catch the intrusion immediately.
Line 2 (Yang — solid)
There is a fish in the tank. No blame. Guests should not be entertained. The contained vulnerability — manage it, don't share it.
Line 3 (Yang — solid)
The skin of the buttocks is torn — walking is difficult. Conscious of danger, no great mistake. Wounded pride but maintained awareness.
Line 4 (Yang — solid)
No fish in the tank. This leads to misfortune. The vulnerability escaped containment.
Line 5 (Yang — solid)
A melon covered with willow leaves. Hidden lines. Then it drops down from heaven. Beautiful concealment of virtue until the moment of revelation.
Line 6 (Yang — solid) — Top
He comes to meet with his horns. Humiliation. No blame. Aggressive response to the encounter — effective but graceless.
