☯ I Ching Hexagram Meaning
Increase describes a season when what flows from above genuinely benefits what lies below, and bold, well-intentioned action meets little real resistance right now. Momentum favors those who actually move rather than merely plan, since conditions are unusually favorable for growth, and generosity extended now tends to return manifold.
Wind and thunder feed each other, each gust making the next clap louder. Growth works the same way inwardly: notice something admirable in another and let it change how you act, and when you catch a flaw in yourself, do not wait before setting it right.
Conditions are unusually favorable for growth right now — resources, goodwill, or opportunity flowing your way more freely than usual. Increase names this as a genuine season for action, not a moment to simply coast on good fortune without doing anything with it.
This energy asks you to act on the momentum: start the undertaking you have been circling, invest generously where it counts, and correct your own faults quickly while the conditions make growth easier. Increase given generously to others during a favorable season tends to keep expanding rather than running out.
What favorable opportunity are you sitting on right now that actually calls for decisive movement instead of more waiting?
The collective unconscious...appears to consist of mythological motifs or primordial images, for which reason the myths of all nations are its real exponents. In fact the whole of mythology could be taken as a sort of projection of the collective unconscious. We can see this most clearly if we look at the heavenly constellations, whose originally chaotic forms are organized through the projection of images. This explains the influence of the stars as asserted by astrologers. These influences are nothing but unconscious, introspective perceptions of the collective unconscious. - Carl G. Jung
