✦ HEXAGRAM 30
Lí —
The Clinging.
Fire above, Fire below.
JUDGMENT
The Clinging. Perseverance furthers. It brings success. Care of the cow brings good fortune.
THE IMAGE
That which is bright rises twice: the image of Fire. Thus the great man, by perpetuating his brightness, illumines the four quarters of the world.
INTERPRETATION
Double fire — brilliant illumination, but fire must cling to fuel to survive. Clarity of mind is your greatest asset now, but it depends on what you attach yourself to.
This hexagram asks: what do you cling to? Attach yourself to worthy things — truth, beauty, meaningful work — and your light sustains itself. Cling to ego or illusion and you burn out.
