The Receptive

Pure receptive capacity: the earth that carries and completes all things.

Kun: sustaining earth — Upper trigram · Kun

Six yin lines, earth doubled — the image of devoted capacity. Where The Creative begins, The Receptive carries: it is the strength of the field that brings every seed to form. Its counsel is responsiveness over assertion for now — follow the lead worth following, support what deserves support, and let service be a form of power. The mare in the old text travels far precisely because she does not fight the ground.

On wealth

Financially, this favours stewardship over speculation: tend what is entrusted to you and let carrying capacity grow.
