Hexagram Meaning

䷿

The Oracle Speaks

Fire over water — every line is out of place, yet this is not failure. Before completion. Success. The little fox, after nearly crossing the water, gets its tail in the water. Nothing that would further. The state just before the transformation completes. Not disorder but pre-order. The world before the next version. Every ending is a beginning in disguise. The cycle is eternal.

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

He gets his tail in the water. Humiliation. Premature action before the conditions are right — the classic pre-launch failure.

Line 2 (Yang — solid)

He brakes his wheels. Perseverance brings good fortune. Deliberate restraint when you want to rush — the discipline of waiting.

Line 3 (Yin — broken)

Before completion, attack brings misfortune. It furthers to cross the great water. Not ready for force, but ready for the journey. Start the migration, not the war.

Line 4 (Yang — solid)

Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse disappears. Stir yourself up as if you were invading the Devil's Country. For three years, great realms are rewarded. The great sustained push — years of effort toward the transformation.

Line 5 (Yin — broken)

Perseverance brings good fortune. No remorse. The light of the superior man is true. Good fortune. Your authentic radiance illuminates the path forward.

Line 6 (Yang — solid) — Top

Drinking wine in genuine good faith. No blame. But if one wets one's head, one loses it. Celebrate approaching completion but don't lose your head in the celebration. The last moment before the reboot — stay sober.
