Health & Wellness

Kun represents earth and pure receptive power. All six lines are yin, symbolizing devotion, nurturing, and the capacity to sustain.

Fu symbolizes return. One yang line reappears beneath five yin lines, like the winter solstice when light returns. Thunder rests within the earth, gathering strength for renewal.

Yi symbolizes nourishment. Thunder at the foot of the mountain resembles the jaw in motion. Be careful with words and moderate in consumption.

Kan symbolizes repeated danger, like water flowing ceaselessly into the abyss. Sincerity and steadfastness carry one through peril.

Xie symbolizes deliverance from difficulty. Thunder and rain clear the air. With hardship resolved, pardon mistakes and return swiftly to normalcy.

Kun symbolizes oppression and exhaustion. The lake is without water. The superior man stakes his life on his convictions, proving himself through action when words are not believed.

Gen symbolizes stillness. Two mountains stand together, motionless. When one keeps still and stays within proper bounds, there is no blame.

Jie symbolizes limitation. Water over the lake is finite. Moderate restraint brings success, but bitter limitation cannot endure.

Ji Ji symbolizes completion. Water over fire — all lines are in their proper places. Though complete, one must remain vigilant. Good fortune at first, disorder at the end.

Wei Ji symbolizes the state before completion. Fire over water — they do not interact. Like a young fox nearly across the stream, caution is needed to place everything properly.
