Hexagram Meaning

䷸

The Oracle Speaks

Wind upon wind — gentle but relentless penetration. Success through what is small. It furthers to have somewhere to go and to see the great man. Wind enters every crack; no barrier can fully stop it. Influence through persistent, gentle pressure rather than force. The feature flag that gradually rolls out to all users. Soft power, deep reach.

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

In advancing and in retreating, the perseverance of a warrior furthers. Disciplined flexibility — advance or retreat with equal resolve.

Line 2 (Yang — solid)

Penetration under the bed. Priests and magicians are used in great number. Good fortune. No blame. Deep diagnostic investigation with every tool available.

Line 3 (Yang — solid)

Repeated penetration. Humiliation. Over-analysis paralysis — too many iterations of the same question.

Line 4 (Yin — broken)

Remorse vanishes. During the hunt, three kinds of game are caught. Thorough investigation yields multiple results.

Line 5 (Yang — solid)

Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse vanishes. Nothing that does not further. No beginning, but an end. Before the change, three days. After the change, three days. Good fortune. The complete transformation through persistent effort.

Line 6 (Yang — solid) — Top

Penetration under the bed. He loses his property and his ax. Perseverance brings misfortune. Going too deep — the investigation becomes destructive.
