Short Summary
FreeThunder doubled — the clap that wakes the world. The shock that reveals what was hidden in ordinary time.
Something has shaken your situation. A sudden event, a shock, an unexpected development. The hexagram is not catastrophic about this. It points out that shock, handled well, is clarifying — it wakes you up to what you had been sleeping through.
Thunder, twice repeating
the hand holds the ladle still;
the wise stay composed.
