Hexagram Meaning

The Oracle Speaks

Wind over lake — the wind stirs the surface of the water, reaching its depths. Inner truth. Pigs and fishes — even the dullest creatures respond to sincerity. Supreme success. Perseverance furthers. It furthers to cross the great water. True understanding moves outward from the center. The empty center of the hexagram (two yin lines) represents an open, receptive heart. Integrity is the encryption key that makes all communication trustworthy.

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

Being prepared brings good fortune. If there are secret designs, it is disquieting. Hidden agendas undermine the trust foundation.

Line 2 (Yang — solid)

A crane calling in the shade. Its young answers it. I have a good goblet. I will share it with you. Authentic resonance — like attracts like. The genuine signal finds its receiver.

Line 3 (Yin — broken)

He finds a comrade. Now he beats the drum, now he stops. Now he sobs, now he sings. Emotional volatility from deep connection — the intensity of genuine partnership.

Line 4 (Yin — broken)

The moon nearly at the full. The team horse goes astray. No blame. Approaching completion; a resource wanders off but the mission continues.

Line 5 (Yang — solid)

He possesses truth which links together. No blame. True integrity as the binding protocol — trust without verification.

Line 6 (Yang — solid) — Top

Cockcrow penetrating to heaven. Perseverance brings misfortune. The voice without substance reaches too far. Authenticity has limits — don't project truth where you have only opinion.
