The Judgment
亨,利贞。
Joyous exchange — shared pleasure and sincere speech succeed when grounded in steadiness.
The Image (Daxiang)
「丽泽,兑;君子以朋友讲习。」Lakes joined — the noble person learns and practices among friends.—— 《周易·大象传》(The Image Commentary)
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰:兑,说也。刚中而柔外,说以利贞,是以顺乎天而应乎人。说以先民,民忘其劳;说以犯难,民忘其死;说之大,民劝矣哉!——《易传·彖传》

Joy and honest exchange — share, teach, negotiate. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
