Hexagram 39 of 64

· Obstruction

Upper Trigram

Water

Lower Trigram

Mountain

Description

Dangerous obstacles ahead. Water on the mountain — the path forward requires caution and self-examination.

The Judgment

Obstruction. The southwest furthers. The northeast does not further. It furthers one to see the great person. Perseverance brings good fortune.

The Image

Water on the mountain. Thus the superior person turns their attention to themselves and molds their character.
