Children.
The hexagram means freshness, like early morning or a cool mountain spring, or renewal after a sound sleep. It relates particularly to the freshness of spirit in children and their capacity to re-invigorate a jaded adult. An adult finds a child’s freshness irresistibly charming, though it can be challenging when the adult is tired. The freshness of youth can be expressed as playfulness, impulsiveness, fearless idealism and wild romanticism, ever ready to take risks and fall in love. The hexagram also relates to the assistance given by an adult, established in the world, to a dependant child. The parent provides a secure environment for the child to play and develop and guides the child towards eventual independent adulthood. |
