Short Summary
FreeFire inside a lake — the incompatible elements, the long tension, the moment the old form has to change. The hexagram of molting.
Something in your life is ready to transform — not incrementally, but fundamentally. The hexagram is about the specific discipline of real change: knowing when it's time, knowing what the new thing has to be, and having the courage to shed the old.
Fire inside the lake
the old skin comes loose at last;
what emerges is new.
