I Ching Hexagram 60
The hexagram 60 of the I Ching, Limitation, is composed of Water at the top and the Lake at the bottom. Limitation is a situation in which the mutual destination of two components poses the question of the correct measure to achieve. The excess Water on the Lake overflows its limits and becomes a terrible flood; a too severe restriction of Water will dry up the Lake. So the issue at stake here is the right measure to attain in order for a situation to become prosperous.
Quick guide for interpretation
We must be conscious of the importance of a good use of limits.
