The judgement
It is hexagram 30 of the I Ching, formed by the Fire trigram below and the Fire one above: six lines, three for each trigram. The Clinging is fire that attaches to what feeds it. Clarity, dependence, beauty that needs matter.
Trigrams
- Lower
- 離 Fire
- Upper
- 離 Fire
What it means today
To what are you clinging? Fire without wood dies; wood without measure burns the house. Choose a worthy support and stay lucid.
Classic image
Double fire. The great person illuminates the four regions and continues the light.
Love
In love, fusion is sweet and risky. Each keep your own wood. Mutual clarity is more erotic than blind fusion.
Work
At work your visibility depends on a platform, a superior, a brand. Diversify the fuel a little.
Relationships
In relationships, do not burn those who support you. Gratitude and autonomy together.
Decisions
Choose whom or what to cling to. A lucid attachment is strength; a blind one is dependence.
