Exhaustion
Hexagram 47 of the Yi Jing · 困 Kùn
The figure
The Lake above Water: the lake whose water has drained downward, run dry. The image of exhaustion, of the constraint that tests.
What this figure illuminates
Oppression lights up periods of lack and limit, when means run short. It is a trial that reveals what truly holds: what remains when comfort withdraws.
For a decision, the figure invites you to draw from within when the outside closes: “deprived of my usual supports, on what deeper thing can I still lean?”.
A question to keep
Deprived of your usual supports, on what deeper thing do you lean?
