Short Summary
FreeWind drifts across the sky — light clouds gathering, but no rain yet. Small forces holding back great ones.
Something modest is slowing something large. A small delay, a small caution, a small person holding you back from a big move. The hexagram says: respect the small restraint. It's saving you from a premature move that would have broken on impact.
Wind across the sky
clouds gather slowly, slowly,
rain waits its own time.
