Oppression 困 Kùn
Leela Atlas team · Updated
When drained and unheard, keep your spirit calm and your faith alive.
Trigrams: Lake over Water
The judgement
Being hemmed in can still lead to success for one who stays steady and wise. Words carry little weight now, so let your conduct speak.
The image
The lake has lost its water and lies exhausted. The noble one is ready to stake everything on following their true purpose.
Light side
Hardship can reveal how deeply you hold to what you believe in.
Shadow side
Complaining or trying to explain yourself in a moment of exhaustion drains you further.
Drawing Oppression 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 is still worth holding on to when your resources run low?
- What does "Oppression" show you about your square?
- If "Oppression" were advice for your question, what would it say?
- Where do you meet "Oppression" in your life right now?
