Traditional Reading of I Ching Hexagram 28, Exceeding

I Ching Hexagram 28

The hexagram 28 of the I Ching, Exceeding, is the inverse of the previous one, Nourishing, 27. All lines have turned into their opposite and as a result the two feeble yin lines limit the four strong yang lines. The yang lines are in excess but their powerful movement depends on the two yin lines. The hexagram indicates thus a situation of excessive power which inevitably will transform the actual conditions. However, in order for this change to succeed, we must take into account that it must be undertake through the simple means of passivity.

Quick guide for interpretation
