Today's hexagram:Water and fire are both harmonious（䷾）

The Book of ChangesThesixty-threeThe hexagram states that the upper barrier (water) and lower barrier (fire) intersect, with water and fire blending together, combining strength and softness. The task has been accomplished.

Hexagram revelation:'Ji' means' already ', and' Ji 'means' successfully crossing the water'. Its original meaning is' the task has been completed and the goal has been achieved ', which can be extended to a perfect state of harmony between all things and balance between yin and yang. But the core of the Ji hexagram is not simply 'success', but' perfection in balance 'and' perseverance after perfection '. Water can moisten fire and prevent it from becoming too strong, fire can warm water and prevent it from becoming too cold, symbolizing the light shining on the face of danger and difficulty. Wisdom and etiquette complement each other, and everything should be moderate and in its own place, ultimately achieving a harmonious and perfect state.

The dragon and tiger are strong and gentle, hidden in the holy formula, and temporarily harmonize with yin and yang.
