Hexagram 7 of 64师 Shī
䷆
The Army
Disciplined collective strength.
The multitude, troops, mobilization, leading the masses, discipline, organized force
☷Earth Above
☵Water Below
Short Summary
FreeA river runs beneath the earth — unseen depth feeding the surface, force held in reserve.
You are leading, or being led, through a situation that requires real organization. This hexagram isn't about aggression. It's about the quiet discipline that makes large groups of people actually work together. Strength without order is chaos. Order without strength is fragility. This hexagram is both.
River under field
a thousand footsteps above,
one root below.
