Traditional Reading of I Ching Hexagram 62, Preponderance of the Small

I Ching Hexagram 62

The hexagram 62 of the I Ching, Preponderance of the Small, consists of the Thunder over the Mountain. Apparently, these are two powerful forces as we have the height and the tranquility of the Mountain associated with the Thunder's power to initiate movement. However, this power is relative, because the Thunder in the heights is limited and trapped by the Mountain. It is then unable to initiate something and its strength is lost in the hills where it remains ineffective. The hexagram Preponderance of the Small concerns the problem of our real ability to initiate a given task.
