Today's hexagram:Feng Lei Yi（䷩）

The Book of ChangesItemforty-twoThe hexagram states that when the wind rises and the thunder falls, the thunder moves and the wind follows, mutually beneficial and symbiotic.

Hexagram revelation:'Yi' means gain and benefit, elaborating on the dialectical wisdom of 'bidirectional nourishment and dynamic gain'. Shaking into thunder symbolizes the driving force of being strong, proactive, and striving for success; Xun is the wind, symbolizing the transforming power of gentle followers and infiltration. Thunder moves with wind, and wind and thunder collide and complement each other. It is neither a unilateral pursuit of profit nor blind consumption, but a dynamic balance of "giving and receiving" and "loss and benefit", forming a virtuous cycle of "actively giving and actively absorbing", revealing that true gains come from the rational flow of resources and two-way feedback.

Stop when the time is right, move when the time is right, keep moving and moving in the right time, and the path is bright.
