Conflict

Heaven and water pulling apart: positions hardening into dispute.

Water flows down while heaven pulls up — two motions that cannot meet. Conflict names a situation where views have genuinely diverged and pressing to total victory would deepen the split. The counsel is early, partial settlement: meet halfway while halfway still exists, and bring in a fair third party where trust has thinned. Being right is worth less than staying whole. The strongest position in this hexagram is the one that ends the case.

On wealth

Settle disputed money matters early and on clear terms; a fair compromise outperforms a long contest.
