Hexagram 32 — 恒 (Héng), Duration

Above: ☳ 震 Thunder Below: ☴ 巽 Wind

The Judgment

亨,无咎,利贞。利有攸往。

Lasting constancy — success through endurance of purpose and stable routines.

The Image (Daxiang)

「雷风,恒;君子以立不易方。」Thunder and wind endure — the noble person stands firm and does not change course.—— 《周易·大象传》(The Image Commentary)

The Tuan Commentary

彖曰:恒,久也。刚上而柔下,雷风相与,巽而动,刚柔皆应,恒。恒亨无咎利贞,久于其道也,天地之道,恒久而不已也。利有攸往,终则有始也。日月得天而能久照,四时变化而能久成,圣人久于其道而天下化成。观其所恒,而天地万物之情可见矣!——《易传·彖传》

In Plain Terms

Play the long game — constancy outlasts intensity. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
