夬 Hexagram 43: Breakthrough
Five yang lines press on one last yin line at the top — a corrupt element about to be ejected. The counsel is public, non-violent resolution: expose what has been hidden, warn allies, do not escalate to force.
Reflect today: Where in the day does the pattern of breakthrough already show itself, and what single act would answer it well?

Today's Meaning
Five yang lines press on one last yin line at the top — a corrupt element about to be ejected. The counsel is public, non-violent resolution: expose what has been hidden, warn allies, do not escalate to force. The decisive act must be clean, not cruel.
Practice
- Name Breakthrough. Look for the place where breakthrough is already shaping the day: Five yang lines press on one last yin line at the top — a corrupt element about to be ejected.
- Practice the Image. Let the Image become conduct: the superior person dispenses riches downward and refrains from resting on their virtue.
- Answer Hexagram 43. Before the day ends, make one visible choice that fits Breakthrough instead of forcing the day to answer your preference.
