Interpretation & Usage
The Golden Rule: "Joy hates Clashes, Misery hates Harmony." For job offers, weddings, or contracts, a [Clash Hexagram] often warns that the relationship or agreement may break, reverse, or fail to settle. However, for lawsuits, chronic pain, or other negative entanglements, Clash can also mean the old pattern is disrupted and the stalemate may change. Conversely, drawing a [Harmony Hexagram] for disputes or illness themes can warn of deeper entanglement, delay, or difficulty separating quickly.
