䷖
Splitting Apart
Something is ending. Let it.
Stripping away, peeling, disintegration, erosion, deterioration, falling away
☶Mountain Above
☷Earth Below
Short Summary
FreeA mountain settling into earth — the ground giving way, the structure coming down from below. Not collapse, but release.
Something in your life is ending. The hexagram isn't asking you to save it. It's asking you to let it go with grace — to stop spending energy on what has already decided to leave. Endings, done well, clear the ground for what comes next.
The mountain settles
stone by stone returning to earth;
what was, making room.
