Solidarity
Hexagram 8 of the Yi Jing · 比 Bǐ
The figure
Water above Earth: water hugging the ground, filling hollows and binding. The image of union, of what holds together.
What this figure illuminates
Solidarity lights up the question of alliance: whom to travel with, around what center to gather. True union calls for mutual sincerity, not only shared interest.
For a decision, the figure invites you to look at the bonds: “is this the right time to join, and does this center — this person, this project — deserve my commitment?”.
A question to keep
To whom, or to what, is it right to bind yourself now?
