    Short Summary

    Fire on the mountain — a quick flame passing through the grass. The hexagram of not being at home, and holding yourself with dignity through it.

    You are somewhere you do not fully belong — a new city, a new role, a new phase of life, a transitional situation. The hexagram is about the specific discipline of being a guest well. Not staying forever, not pretending to belong, but holding yourself with a traveler's dignity.

    Fire on the hillside

    passing through, not settling down;

    the traveler walks light.
