Cast the I Ching · Hexagram 40 of 64
Hexagram Forty
解
Deliverance
Thunder and rain releasing the tension: the knot loosened, the air cleared.
The storm breaks and the atmosphere unclenches — deliverance after strain. This hexagram marks the moment a difficulty resolves: the pass is open again, and the counsel is about exits. Leave the hard season quickly and without wallowing; forgive the errors it exposed, your own included; return to ordinary life at ordinary pace. Lingering in a resolved crisis re-creates it. Take the clemency of the moment and walk out through it.
On wealth
As pressure lifts, normalise quickly: settle what the strain disturbed and do not re-litigate the storm.
