The Joyous
Hexagram 58 of the Yi Jing · 兑 Duì
The figure
The Lake doubled: two joyous expanses reflecting each other, open water under the sky. The image of joy, of the exchange that gladdens.
What this figure illuminates
The Joyous lights up the gentle strength of shared joy, of the exchange that opens and encourages. But true joy is not complacency: it gladdens because it is sincere, not because it flatters.
For a decision, the figure questions the quality of what gladdens you: “does this joy nourish something true and shared, or is it only a pleasure seeking to please?”.
A question to keep
Does this joy nourish something true, or is it seeking to please?
