Traditional Reading of I Ching Hexagram 23, Breaking Up

  new question

I Ching Hexagram 23

The meaning of the hexagram 23 of the I Ching, Breaking Up, comes from the organization of its lines, which indicates a state where the last yang line is in the last position of the hexagram, ready to leave it. The situation is, thus, one where all yang attributes tend to be excluded, such as clarity, strength, or movement. We have, therefore, a situation of breaking up of all creative forces which offers no way left to any kind of action that may oppose it.

Quick guide for interpretation

We must collect to ourselves to let the storm pass by.
