Short Summary
FreeThunder rising from the earth — the first electric spring after a long winter. Collective energy finding its rhythm.
Something wants to move, and the movement wants to be shared. Enthusiasm is not the same as excitement — it's the contagious vitality that happens when genuine purpose meets real momentum. The hexagram asks you to ride the wave without mistaking the wave for permanence.
Thunder from the ground
the earth remembers its name,
drums beneath the snow.
