Fire
Hexagram 30 of the Yi Jing · 离 Lí
The figure
Fire doubled: the broken line held between two solid ones, repeated. Clarity, light — but a light that only burns while attached to what it illuminates.
What this figure illuminates
Fire lights up what your clarity depends on: you only see clearly by leaning on something — a person, a discipline, an attention. Clarity is not a solitary state, it is a relationship.
For a decision, the figure asks a question of support rather than force: “what am I holding onto to see clearly, and does that support truly light my way, or hold me back?”.
A question to keep
What is lighting your way right now — is it the right support?
