Hexagram 11 — 泰 (Tài), Peace

Above: ☷ 坤 Earth Below: ☰ 乾 Heaven

The Judgment

小往大来,吉,亨。

The small departs, the great arrives — heaven and earth commune. A golden age of harmony and prosperity.

The Image (Daxiang)

「天地交,泰;后以财成天地之道,辅相天地之宜。」Heaven and earth commune — the ruler shapes the way of heaven and earth to benefit all.—— 《周易·大象传》(The Image Commentary)

The Tuan Commentary

彖曰:泰,小往大来,吉亨。则是天地交,而万物通也;上下交,而其志同也。内阳而外阴,内健而外顺,内君子而外小人。君子道长,小人道消也。——《易传·彖传》

Harmony peak — cooperate freely, everything connects. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
