    Short Summary

    Free

    A lake rising above the trees — something enormous resting on too little support. The ridgepole is bending.

    Something in your life is overloaded. A commitment, a relationship, a body of work, an expectation. The structure wasn't built for this much weight. The hexagram says: act now, carefully, before it breaks.

    The lake over trees

    the beam bends under the load;

    move, before it cracks.
