K'an

The Abysmal

Water over Water

THE JUDGEMENT
THE ABYSMAL repeated.
If you are sincere, you have success in your heart,
And whatever you do succeeds.

THE IMAGE
Water flows on uninterruptedly and reaches its goal:
The image of THE ABYSMAL repeated.
Thus the superior man walks in lasting virtue
And carries on the business of teaching.

mapped using the Sequence of Middle Heaven:

From Depressed Parasitism to Depressed Parasitism:

Returning to the abyss after a cycle of growth is depressing. Both the depressed and the parasite are sincere. Water flowing uninterruptedly to reach its goal matches. Teaching works well. Overall, a very good match.

mapped using the Sequence of Later Heaven:

(deprecated)

From Synnecrotic Conflict to Synnecrotic Conflict:

Return to the abyss after a cycle of growth matches very well. Sincerity is reason for the conflict. Flowing water matches cycle of growth. Teaching works less well, but still works. Overall, a pretty good match.
