Limitation
Hexagram 60 of the Yi Jing · 节 Jié
The figure
Water above the Lake: the lake whose capacity limits the water, the measure that holds back. The image of limitation, of the bounds that set free.
What this figure illuminates
Limitation lights up the value of bounds: without limits, water spreads and is lost; with them, it takes shape and strength. To limit yourself rightly is not to deprive yourself, but to give yourself a fertile frame.
For a decision, the figure questions your frames: “what limit, freely chosen, would make me more effective and freer, rather than scattered?”.
A question to keep
What limit, freely chosen, would make you freer?
