The Army
Hexagram 7 of the Yi Jing · 师 Shī
The figure
Earth above Water: the mass that contains danger, the groundwater gathered beneath the soil. The image of a disciplined force.
What this figure illuminates
The Army lights up moments that call for organization and discipline — not to dominate, but to lead a collective effort rightly. Disordered force scatters; ordered force carries.
For a decision, the figure questions how you mobilize: “do I have a clear direction, a discipline and a legitimacy to lead — myself as much as others?”.
A question to keep
Do you have the direction and discipline to lead this effort?
