Traditional Reading of I Ching Hexagram 30, To Adhere, the Fire

I Ching Hexagram 30

The hexagram 30 of the I Ching, To Adhere, is composed of a repetition of the trigram Fire. It depicts a redoubled power of enlightenment. This should be understood as the clearness produced by creation. However, in order to shine, Fire depends on some external source as the Wood. The easiness of Fire’s deployment and its possible wide extension have as a counterpart its dependence on what is hidden and does not shine.

Quick guide for interpretation

We should nourish creation to allow it to shine without getting exhausted.
