Hexagram 13 · Shared Purpose
Shared Purpose
Heaven above · Fire belowTraditional palace notation: 离宫 · 归魂卦
Cooperation becomes stronger when it reaches beyond a small circle. Look for a purpose people can discuss openly, while making room for real differences. A shared task does not require everyone to become alike, but it does require fair dealing.
A question in mind. A moment to reflect.
Cast the coins rather than choosing a result.
Write one question, then cast three coins six times.
