    Short Summary

    Free

    Earth over a lake — the ground meets the water. A soft meeting, full of promise.

    Something good is on its way. A new chapter, a returning energy, a relationship entering its open phase. The hexagram is encouraging but clear-eyed: enjoy this, use it well, and notice that it won't last forever. Good seasons are for working.

    Earth above the lake

    spring arrives with quiet light;

    the long work begins.
