Short Summary
FreeThunder and rain — the storm breaking, the pressure releasing. What held tight has let go.
Something that has been holding you is releasing. Not through your effort — through the natural movement of conditions. The hexagram asks you to accept the relief, forgive what can be forgiven, and not over-dramatize the return to normal life.
Thunder and the rain
the long-held tension breaking;
breathe. The knot undone.
