Hexagram Thirty-Seven

家人

The Family

Wind issuing from fire: influence that begins at the hearth and travels outward.

Xun: wind through bamboo
Upper trigram · Xun
Li: clear fire
Lower trigram · Li

Warm air rises from the flame and becomes wind — effect radiating from a well-tended hearth. The Family locates all wider influence in the near circle: the household, the small team, the daily tone. Its counsel is order with affection close to home — clear roles, warm words with substance behind them, consistency the people nearest you can rest on. What the hearth establishes, the wind carries; no public front outruns its private base.

On wealth

Household and inner-team finances come first: order the near accounts and the wider ones inherit the order.
