Today's hexagram:Shui Tian needs（䷄）

《The Book of Changesauxiliary word for ordinal numbersfiveThe hexagram states that the upper barrier (water) and lower barrier (sky) are dry, and the water is in the sky, waiting for the right moment.

Hexagram revelation:Clouds evaporate in the sky and have not yet turned into rain, symbolizing that things have reached a critical stage of development and need to wait for movement and accumulate gradually. It symbolizes that in the face of the obstacles ahead, one must hold onto their true nature with the strength of a dry sky, and prepare themselves with the flexibility of a water barrier.Shui Tian needs divination“wait”As the core, it showcases the indispensable wisdom in the process of life——When the time is not ripe, it is necessary to gather and disperse calmly like a cloud layer, and silently root like the earth. The Kan River hangs high above the sky, seemingly stagnant, but in reality, it is a deep condensation of energy. If we act rashly at this moment, it's like digging a well before it rains, it's exhausting; Only by staying calm and persevering can we let the accumulated strength surge like rivers in times of adversity.

Embrace diversity and make appointments, with thick accumulation and thin hair.
