Opposition 睽 Kuí

Differences need not divide; seek harmony in small matters.

Trigrams: Fire over Lake

The judgement

When people stand opposed, great undertakings are hard, but small matters can still go well. Difference does not have to mean hostility.

The image

Fire flames upward and the lake seeps down, each going its own way. The noble one stays themselves even within fellowship.

Light side

Opposition can sharpen your sense of who you are and what you value.

Shadow side

Treating every difference as a war closes the door to small reconciliations.

Drawing Opposition 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:

• Where could a small step bridge the gap you feel in this question?
• What does "Opposition" show you about your square?
• If "Opposition" were advice for your question, what would it say?
• Where do you meet "Opposition" in your life right now?
