Revolution
Hexagram 49 of the Yi Jing · 革 Gé
The figure
The Lake above Fire: water and fire fighting and transforming each other. The image of revolution, of necessary, deep change.
What this figure illuminates
Revolution lights up the moments when a fundamental change becomes necessary, when the old can no longer last. But overturning is only right when ripe: too soon, it is agitation; at the right time, a necessity.
For a decision, the figure questions the timing of change: “is what I want to transform truly ripe for it, and am I acting from conviction or impatience?”.
A question to keep
Is what you want to change ripe, or are you acting from impatience?
