Traditional Reading of I Ching Hexagram 26, Great Accumulation

I Ching Hexagram 26

The hexagram 26 of the I Ching, Great Accumulation, is composed of the Sky under the Mountain. This image is that of the Sky when framed by the lofty peaks of the Mountain. We have, thus, the symbol of the taming of the Sky by a quiet force that produces the accumulation of clouds with the consequent distribution of nourishing rain. However, all excess may be harmful, even an excess of wealth, and we must be careful to control such power of accumulation to achieve the best balance possible.

Quick guide for interpretation

We must be moderate to profit from our wealth.
