Traditional Reading of I Ching Hexagram 27, Nourishing

I Ching Hexagram 27

The two yang lines which limit the four yin lines inside the hexagram 27 of the I Ching, Nourishing, compose the image of an open mouth. The hexagram symbolizes the problem of decision making, of the choices we must make to know what we must nourish. It is also through an open mouth that words come out of us, and thus this decision making does not concern our personality, but what we want to become in the world.
