    Short Summary

    Free

    Wind over water — the hardened surface breaking up, the frozen edges softening. Something stuck is finally loosening.

    Something that has been frozen in your life — a rigidity, a grudge, a hardened position — is ready to dissolve. The hexagram is about the specific process of softening what has become stuck, so that flow can return.

    Wind over the lake

    the ice begins to scatter;

    water moves again.
