Hexagram Meaning
The Oracle Speaks
Wood grows within the earth — slow, persistent, upward growth. Supreme success. The seedling pushes through soil toward light. Seek the great man. Fear not. Departure toward the south brings good fortune. Organic growth through sustained effort. The career that advances through steady contributions, not lucky breaks.
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
Pushing upward that meets with confidence brings great good fortune. Your growth is welcomed and supported.
Line 2 (Yang — solid)
If one is sincere, it furthers to bring even a small offering. No blame. Humble contributions still earn advancement.
Line 3 (Yang — solid)
One pushes upward into an empty city. No resistance to your rise — the space was waiting for you.
Line 4 (Yin — broken)
The king offers him Mount Qi. Good fortune. No blame. Recognition and territory granted for your contributions.
Line 5 (Yin — broken)
Perseverance brings good fortune. One pushes upward by steps. Methodical advancement — each step builds on the last.
Line 6 (Yin — broken) — Top
Pushing upward in darkness. It furthers to be unremittingly persevering. Advancing without visibility — trust the direction and keep climbing.
