☶Mountain Above
☴Wind Below
Short Summary
FreeWind at the foot of a mountain — something has stagnated in the still air. It's time to let it breathe.
You've inherited a problem. From a family, a predecessor, a past self, a culture. The hexagram doesn't ask who caused it. It asks whether you're willing to be the one who fixes it. Decay isn't drama. It's slow, patient work.
Wind stalled in the peak
something rotten in the wood
asks for patient hands.
