✦ HEXAGRAM 37
Jiā Rén —
The Family.
Wind above, Fire below.
JUDGMENT
The Family. The perseverance of the woman furthers.
THE IMAGE
Wind comes forth from fire: the image of the Family. Thus the superior man has substance in his words and duration in his way of life.
INTERPRETATION
Wind born from fire — warmth creates movement, inner quality produces outer influence. The family here represents any system where each member has a role and the whole depends on inner harmony.
Get your own house in order first. When your inner life is aligned — values, relationships, daily practices — your outward influence naturally expands. Start from the inside out.
