Hexagram 43 — 夬 (Guài), Breakthrough
Above: ☱ 兑 Lake Below: ☰ 乾 Heaven
The Judgment
扬于王庭，孚号有厉。告自邑，不利即戎，利有攸往。
Resolute breakthrough — declare the truth openly; force alone fails, but determined advance succeeds.
The Image (Daxiang)
「泽上于天，夬；君子以施禄及下，居德则忌。」The lake rising to heaven — the noble person spreads benefits below and guards against complacency.—— 《周易·大象传》（The Image Commentary）
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰：夬，决也，刚决柔也。健而说，决而和，扬于王庭，孚号有厉，告自邑，不利即戎，利有攸往。刚长乃终也。——《易传·彖传》
The Six Line Texts
| 初九 | 壮于前趾，往不胜为咎。 |
| 九二 | 惕号，莫夜有戎，勿恤。 |
| 九三 | 壮于頄，有凶。君子夬夬独行，遇雨若濡，有愠无咎。 |
| 九四 | 臀无肤，其行次且。牵羊悔亡，闻言不信。 |
| 九五 | 苋陆夬夬，中行无咎。 |
| 上六 | 无号，终有凶。 |
In Plain Terms
Breakthrough moment — be resolute, not reckless. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
