The judgement
It is hexagram 42 of the I Ching, formed by the Thunder trigram below and the Wind one above: six lines, three for each trigram. Increase is wind and thunder: when the superior decreases the self, the inferior grows. To benefit is the virtue of the moment.
Trigrams
- Lower
- 震 Thunder
- Upper
- 巽 Wind
What it means today
It is real growth if you circulate the benefit. Teach, invest, yield an advantage. Increase that stays in the pocket stops.
Classic image
Wind and thunder. The wise person, if they see the good, imitate it; if they have faults, they correct them.
Love
In love, give each other margin: time, listening, resources. Whoever grows beside you is not a rival.
Work
At work, form people and scale with ethics. Revenue without care is another oracle.
Relationships
In relationships, be the wind that helps to sprout, not the thunder that frightens.
Decisions
Yes to an investment that makes others grow. The return arrives from there.
