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.
