The Clinging Fire
Li
The judgment
Clarity and brightness — fire that clings to what it illuminates and feeds on. This hexagram speaks to lucidity, to the power of clear vision and to the brilliance that depends on what it is attached to. Great achievement is possible here, alongside a note of care about what your light is actually fed by.
The image. Fire burns above fire — brightness doubled, each flame dependent on its fuel.
Guidance
Stay clear and attached to what genuinely sustains you. Bring full light to the situation — your clarity is the gift here; protect and tend what feeds it.
