Breakthrough 夬 Guài
Leela Atlas team · Updated
Speak the truth firmly but without anger, and resolve what lingers.
Trigrams: Lake over Heaven
The judgement
A breakthrough calls for truth spoken openly, with full awareness of the risk. Resolve is needed, but not violence; begin with yourself and those nearest.
The image
The lake has risen up to heaven and will burst as rain. The noble one shares their riches with those below and does not rest on past merit.
Light side
Naming the problem clearly can release what has been building for too long.
Shadow side
Breaking through with aggression creates a new problem in place of the old one.
Drawing Breakthrough in a game of Leela
In Leela Atlas you can draw a card from the I Ching when you land on a square. A bridging question links the card to the square, so the card speaks to your own question:
- What truth needs to be spoken clearly, and how can you say it without force?
- What does "Breakthrough" show you about your square?
- If "Breakthrough" were advice for your question, what would it say?
- Where do you meet "Breakthrough" in your life right now?
