Today's hexagram:Kan is water（䷜）

The Book of Changestwenty-nineHexagram, upper hurdle (water), lower hurdle (water), heavy danger overlapping resistance, seeking passage in danger.

Hexagram revelation: In the hexagram, the ridge symbolizes water, danger, and abyss. The overlapping of the two ridges implies that both inside and outside are trapped, with numerous dangers and difficulties. It is like a continuous stream of water converging into an abyss, which not only reflects the complexity and persistence of the predicament, but also hides the survival wisdom to break through the danger. The continuous flow of water reminds people that facing difficulties is a normal state of life and the development of things. It is necessary to accumulate experience and hone abilities in the process of repeatedly dealing with dangerous situations, and to seek survival and progress in danger. Just as water flows through rocks despite encountering obstacles, only by sticking to one's original intention and adapting flexibly in difficult situations can one achieve self transcendence.
