Above is the trigram Dui (Lake), below is the trigram Qian (Heaven). The metaphorical image of this hexagram is water accumulated at a high place, sooner or later will tear down the barriers holding it back, overflowing its edge. As soon as the waters of the lake have risen to the heavens in the form of vapor, the forming clouds begin to fill the sky, creating tension, which will only be discharged through a heavy rain.
The hexagram speaks of the need for changes, energy seeking an outlet. The cup overflows, restrictive limitations crumble. In this situation, it is necessary to find a balance between destroying the old and seeking a new path. Act decisively, eliminating what has outlived its usefulness, but do not get carried away with destruction, do not allow your life to turn into chaos. Let a new harmonious order be laid by your actions today.
It is important not to beat a wedge with a wedge, using against our opponents their own dishonorable methods. It is necessary to protect your inner world and not contradict yourself and your principles, not allowing anger or egoism to take over.
Guai indicates that the wisest tactic in overcoming negative qualities in others or oneself is to direct your energy towards strengthening virtue, not eliminating vice.
