Hexagram Thirty-Four
大壮
The Power of the Great
Thunder mounted on heaven: great vigour asking for equally great restraint.
Thunder rides the sky — strength at full surge. The Power of the Great celebrates vigour and immediately disciplines it: force this size is only as good as the rectitude steering it. Its counsel is strength within the rules — press ahead where the way is genuinely open, and refuse the ram’s temptation to butt every fence to prove the horns work. Power that declines an unnecessary contest keeps all of it for the necessary one.
On wealth
Real leverage is available: deploy it on justified moves only, and let the fences you ignored stay standing.
