Hexagram Fifty-Seven
巽
The Gentle
Wind following wind: penetration by gentle, ceaseless repetition.
Wind upon wind — influence that enters not by force but by returning again and again. The Gentle describes the power of consistent smallness: air finds every crack, and repeated gentle pressure reshapes what storms cannot. Its counsel is directed persistence — choose a clear aim, for gentleness without direction merely dissipates, then apply it steadily. The daily nudge, the standing habit, the message sent kindly every season: this is how wind moves mountains’ trees.
On wealth
Compound small consistent actions toward one clear target — recurring habits outperform occasional pushes.
