Hexagram 53 – Wind over Mountain: Gradual Progress
Judgment
All things have their proper order. It is like a daughter preparing for marriage.
For a woman and a man to be united, it begins with their meeting, moves through engagement, and reaches marriage— each stage has its own rules and procedures.
Even if the heart rushes like a storm, let your manner remain gentle. Do not hurry—carry things forward with care.
For two people to live together in strength, they must nurture each other’s love and heart.
One who cannot sense another’s feelings cannot live in harmony with others. Look steadily at yourself, and move forward with self-respect.
If you cultivate a noble heart like a great tree standing high on a mountain, you will surely gain something in time. Water seeps even into dry land.
In the end, all things are joined, and blessing comes to those whose hearts are upright.
Lines (Please find your line number using the birth-year chart below.)
① The wild goose timidly approaches the shore. For the young, dangers are many, yet even if scolded, no great harm comes.
② The wild goose quietly approaches the rock. The footing is firm— so drink and eat slowly, enjoy the moment. Good fortune follows.
③ The wild goose flies over the land. Losing the way, the husband does not return; the wife does not raise the child— misfortune. Yet it is good for guarding oneself from enemies.
④ A tall tree is not a place for geese to rest. Anxiety gradually increases, but if a secure place is found, there will be no mistake.
⑤ The wild goose walks upon a high hill. The solitary goose leaves the flock. For three years the wife bears no child, yet in the end, she is blessed with good fortune.
⑥ The wild goose flies into distant clouds and ascends to heaven, never returning. If one’s aspiration is high, there is blessing.
Advice
You are gentle, and yet your heart is strong.
If you continue at your present pace, without haste, you will not go wrong.
Whatever your circumstances, do not forget the nobility of your heart.
2026 is a year of transition for Star #4. What has flowed smoothly until now may pause. What must be changed will stop—and through that pause, life begins to shift toward a new stage.
This is not a year of stagnation. It is a year of restructuring.
Change comes first as “stop,” and then as a gateway to a new life phase. Move slowly. Accept change with lightness and joy.
🧭 Compass Chart Insight
In 2026, Star #4 is located in the Northeast, above Star #8.
This position carries the power of:
Stop
Change
Reform
Turning points
Boundaries
Family
After changing direction, it opens the path toward a new stage of life.
The opposite pole is Star #7, which governs:
Joy
Service
Hobbies
Parties
Money and economy
Retirement themes
Shortages and defects
Young feminine energy
On both sides stand Star #6 and Star #8— the people who support you in 2026:
Those with Star #6 or #8
Bosses
Husband
Father
Family members
Relatives
These are the pillars around you.
🌟 Star #8 Attributes (Influencing Star #4 in 2026)
The glow of a grass fire I once saw at the foot of a mountain on a journey— it was beautiful. Its flickering light illuminated the edge of the coming darkness.
Flames spread, then fade. So too does the passion hidden in the heart: it has not yet found its time to blaze.
Like a wildfire glimpsed between mountain ridges, your talent—known only to those who truly see— is as vast as the mountain itself. Small wishes can be fulfilled.
But you must not embark on something too great. For now, restrain yourself and wait quietly for the time. This is the season to shape things in secret, without being known, steadily and patiently.
Lines
(Please find your line number using the birth-year chart below.)
① Adorning the Feet One who knows the proper human path accepts modest poverty over excessive wealth. They do not ride in cars, but walk firmly on their own feet.
② Adorning the Beard The beard moves together with the mouth. It is good to follow a capable person nearby.
③ Adorning with Elegance Your present life is comfortable, yet it does not become true joy. If you do not drown in empty ornament and instead seek truth, good fortune will follow.
④ Elegance or Simplicity—Which to Choose? Even if you cannot adorn yourself, there is no mistake in holding fast to integrity.
⑤ Promising Too Much, Courtesy Becomes Rough Yet this is better than false ornament. Even if people speak ill of you, the outcome will not be bad. Pure white beauty.
⑥ Casting Off Ornament and Returning to Your True Self Then there will be no problem.
Advice
Your heart burns with passion. Yet people do not recognize you. Even if you rush to decorate yourself, ornament remains only ornament.
Now is the time to build true ability with space and calm in your heart.
One day, your efforts will blossom beautifully— like an entire mountain set ablaze with light.
🧿Star #5 (Female / Male Domestic Role)
Hexagram 36 – Darkening of the Light (Earth over Fire)
Judgment
The hero is wounded. The light of consciousness fades, and the surroundings grow dark.
When a day ends and the sun sinks in the west, people imagine the darkness of night and their hearts grow heavy.
The active daylight has passed. Quiet night approaches swiftly.
The sun that has sunk deep into the heart lies within the darkness of the unconscious, resting its wounded body in silence.
Now is the time to store strength for tomorrow and to indulge in deep sleep.
The wise person does not reveal themselves. They enjoy the light of contemplation alone.
Those who know the mysteries of the inner world will see the sun shining brilliantly at midnight, passing beneath the earth.
They will see the hero, seeking rebirth inside the belly of a strange deep-sea creature, holding a knife.
The wounded sun hides its light before foolish people, but to the wise, it teaches the secret of rebirth.
Lines
(Please find your line number using the birth-year chart below.)
① Flying into darkness, the wings are injured. Wandering for three days without food, one finally reaches an inn— only to be slandered.
② In the darkness, the left thigh is wounded. If a strong horse comes to help, good fortune follows.
③ Hunting in the south within the darkness. You defeat the evil king during the hunt, but do not rush to correct evil.
④ Enter through the left side of the belly and grasp the heart of the evil king. Leave your own home and dwell within the enemy’s body.
⑤ Long ago, there was a man named Ji Zi. Serving his tyrant half-brother, he pretended madness to preserve the righteousness of his heart.
Even when the world is in chaos and darkness descends, live without losing the inner sun.
⑥ Light is lost—only darkness remains. Those who gain position within darkness will in the end be buried by that darkness themselves.
Advice
The world is dark, and fate does not side with you.
First, hold firmly to yourself. Then, accept the opinions of others.
Do not overstrain yourself. If you do not push forward aggressively, you will not be mistaken.
Keep the spaciousness of heart that allows you to wait for your chance.
Your way of thinking will, before long, be recognized.
2026 is the year of culmination in your nine-year cycle. What you have built over the past nine years comes into the light. Your work, dedication, and growth are seen, recognized, and evaluated.
This is not a year to begin something entirely new. It is a year to complete, refine, and release— so that you may step cleanly into a new cycle from 2027.

📌 Point Advice
① Your Efforts Will Be Highly Evaluated
This is the culmination of nine years. Your efforts are recognized publicly and privately.
Some receive awards.
Excellent year for qualification exams.
What you have done matters.
② Let Go for 2027
2026 is not the time to begin anew. It is time to finish and release.
Let go of:
Unnecessary work
Unnecessary people
Attachments that no longer serve your long-term vision
Begin with release. Choose what you carry into the next ten years.
③ A Brighter Sun
With Star #5 in the South, imagine:
The sun shining directly overhead
Light from the universe pouring down
You will naturally appear on the front stage. Step forward consciously.
At the same time, treasure those who stand behind you:
Family
Coworkers
Those who support you quietly
They will become your foundation when 2027 enters its “winter phase.”
④ Conflicts Lower Your Luck
In 2026, resentment may arise— especially toward superiors or authority figures.
However:
Conflict lowers your fortune
Disputes this year tend to drag on
What begins in 2026 can affect 2027
Choose calm. Choose distance over confrontation.
🍀 Luck Forecast
Work
Relationships with bosses and presidents are crucial. They are likely burdened with difficult problems.
Your judgment and intuition are strong this year. Offer ideas and wisdom. Help solve their challenges.
You may be entrusted with large responsibilities. Even if difficult, they are gateways to major opportunities. Accept them.
Your efforts will be recognized inside and outside the company. Some receive awards. Excellent year for qualification exams.
You may feel like quitting. If emotional (anger, dissatisfaction), you will regret it. Headhunting or career-up moves are favorable. Those already planning a career change since 2025 are safe.
Money
Overall good.
Be careful of spending driven by vanity. Self-investment is fortunate:
Certification
Learning
Spiritual growth
Health
Watch circulation and blood pressure
High blood pressure may cause irritability
Be cautious of strokes and severe headaches
Care for your eyes
Beware of burns and high fever
See a doctor promptly for persistent headaches.

They expect leadership from you.
Love
Passionate encounters are possible
Love at first sight may occur

🧿 Yi-Ching Message (The full Yi-Ching messages will be published in a separate post.)
🌿 Message from Yi-Ching 2026 – Star #5Male (Female workplace)
The Yi-Ching offers a quiet inner message for Star #5 in 2026. This is a year of restraint, refinement, and hidden cultivation—a time to let passion mature in silence rather than rush into display.
Like a mountain fire glowing in the distance, your talent already holds great power. Yet this is not the moment for grand ambition or dramatic action. Small wishes may be fulfilled, but true greatness requires patience.
This year asks you to step back from ornament and appearance, to walk steadily on your own feet, to learn from those nearby who possess real ability, and to shape your strength where no one is watching.
Do not hurry to be seen. Do not force recognition. What is merely decorated fades quickly.
True fortune is born when inner power grows quietly. When your ability is fully formed, your light will rise naturally— like an entire mountain igniting in radiant beauty.
→ Please read the full Yi-Ching message in a separate post.
🧿 Yi-Ching Message – Star #5 (Female / Male Domestic Role) Hexagram 36: Darkening of the Light
The world grows dark, and fortune does not seem to stand on your side.
This is a time when light retreats inward. The wounded sun sinks beneath the earth to rest, to heal, and to prepare for rebirth.
Do not force yourself into action. Do not shine where darkness rules. Wise people hide their light and guard it in silence.
Hold firmly to who you are. Listen to others, but do not lose your inner sun.
Now is not the season to advance. It is the season to endure, to wait, to store strength.
What is hidden today will be recognized in time.
Your way of thinking, your quiet truth, will soon be seen.
Even when you are in the right, you may still be drawn into conflict. When you realize this, withdraw at once and seek the help of those who hold authority. Do not push forward by force or stubborn will.
People of different positions and ways of thinking are naturally prone to clash. Just as no two people share the same fingerprints, human minds differ endlessly.
Others are others. You are yourself.
When this is understood, each side can respect the other’s position, and conflict need not arise. If you can understand another as if it were your own matter, harmony becomes possible.
When disputes exist, no great undertaking can succeed. Even if truth lies on your side, continuing on this path will not bring good fortune.
Know the difference between inner and outer, and seek balance in all things.
The Lines (Please find your line number using the birth-year chart below.)
1. There is no chance of victory in conflict. Know when to give up. Though the problem remains, the outcome is not harmful.
2. Defeated in conflict, you flee and return home. Your village is small, yet by hiding there, you escape blame.
3. Even when opportunity appears, you cannot exert your strength. Though you try to step forward, you are not accepted. If you continue to live upright and quietly as before, a smile will return in the end.
4. In conflict you will lose. Follow fate, keep your heart upright, and wait for the right time— surely something good will come.
5. When you are in the right, you may prevail in conflict. In the court of judgment, there are those who are fair. Victory shines upon the one who holds true reason.
6. Even if you win a dispute, it will not last. You may feel triumphant for a moment, but in the end, all is lost.
Advice
Like a father who knows all things well, even if you address others with authority, your own heart may be confused and in a dangerous state.
Though you have no wish to fight, you may be drawn into quarrels. Futile conflict makes a person small.
Now is the time to cast aside pride and seek harmony with others.
The year that marks the beginning of a new nine-year cycle
What you have gained so far may leave you
Aligning with those around you brings fortune
Unexpected troubles
Careful health management is essential
2026 is the year that marks the beginning of a new nine-year cycle.
What you begin to think about now will become the starting point of the next nine years. At the same time, what you have obtained over the past nine years may begin to leave.
This year contains separation, adjustment, disruption, and fatigue. It is not a comfortable year.
Star #6 people are usually leaders—strong, decisive, and principled. In 2026, however, the world does not move according to your usual rhythm.
This is a year that teaches you how to move when things no longer proceed as planned.
🧭 Compass Chart Insight
In 2026, Star #6 is located in the North, overlapping the original position of Star #1, under the influence of Anken Power and Hakai Power.
This period is called the Kannyu Term, and in terms of season, it corresponds to winter.
It carries the power of:
Water
Hardship
Struggle
Poverty
Illness
Humanity
Letters
Opposite you stands Star #5 —the power of kingship, destruction and rebirth, love, emptiness, and ancient force.
These represent:
What people around you expect from you
The people and events that give you hints leading to your good opportunities
On both sides are Star #4 and Star #2.
These are the people and circumstances that support you in 2026: women from their 30s to elderly women, and people who are Star #2 or Star #4.

📌 Point Advice
① The Beginning of a New Nine-Year Cycle
Make something your starting point for the next nine years.
2026 is not the time to put things into action. It is a time to think about what to do, to make plans, to make decisions, and to gather information.
It is a time of preparation.
From 2027, you will gradually begin to act. Therefore, 2026 is extremely important.
Star #1 carries the power of water.
Drop a single drop of water.
If you drop a drop on many places, that drop will eventually become a river.
Instead of short-term thinking, set a long-term vision that looks ten years ahead.
When you try to begin something, interference will occur.
However, that interference itself is a sign of what you truly need to do.
② What You Have Gained May Leave
What you have obtained over the past nine years may leave.
This is a time of purification of the past. At the same time, what you have neglected may scatter.
If you neglected relationships, people may leave. If you neglected money, money may decrease. Work contracts may be cancelled.
At such times, remain calm.
Do not blame others. Do not become angry at circumstances.
Decide that you will overcome this difficulty.
③ Aligning with Those Around You
Star #6 is usually a leader.
In 2026, align yourself with others.
In relationships, value consideration for others.
Many Star #6 people are perfectionists. However, this year, various events will occur, and things will not proceed as you wish.
At such times, allow yourself to be someone who cannot move smoothly at your usual pace.
A weakness of Star #6 is that because you are perfect, you expect others to be the same.
Others are not like you.
This year, you will experience situations that cannot be perfect.
When you forgive yourself in those moments, you become someone who can forgive others.
Think of this as a year of learning.
④ Unexpected Troubles
Unexpected troubles are likely to occur.
You can solve them.
However, sometimes troubles arise even when it is clearly not your fault.
This year, seal your sense of justice.
Star #6 people are naturally strong in justice. They judge what is right and wrong and confront even those in power without fear.
But this year, do not judge by right and wrong.
Problems will only grow larger.
When things do not go as planned, do not blame others and do not become angry at circumstances.
Schedule changes will occur frequently. This is the influence of Hakai Power.
It is not that others are at fault. It is the nature of your fortune this year.
⑤ Careful Health Management
Many Star #6 people are usually energetic and fill their schedules.
Among the nine stars, they are often the healthiest.
However, this year, physical condition declines. You catch colds more easily.
Sleep becomes the most important factor.
Your sleep in 2026 becomes the “charging period” for 2027 and beyond.
Many of you were very busy up until 2025.
Think of 2026 as a year of rest.
Details will be explained in Health Luck.
🍀 Luck Forecast
Work Luck
For those who start something new, what you begin this year will become something large ten years from now.
There was once a person who started a company in such a year and endured ten years of hardship. Then, after a decade, a single phone call transformed that business into a million-dollar enterprise.
In this way, after long effort, this year becomes the beginning of a result you could never have imagined.
If you are aiming for truly great success, this is a good year to start.
Star #6 and Star #8 are especially favorable for beginnings. (Details will be explained in a separate post.)
Money Luck
Little money comes in. Much money goes out. These expenses may feel like hardship, but think of them as a way to prevent illness.
Spending to please those around you invites trust, connections, and a cycle that later increases financial luck.
Avoid wasteful spending. There is a high possibility of unavoidable expenses. Be mentally prepared.
If you are a business owner or freelancer, it may be wise to borrow money by February 3.
Health Luck
Your health luck is low. Do not push yourself.
Please get plenty of sleep. A medical checkup is strongly recommended.
Be careful not to catch cold. Salt baths are recommended.
Be cautious if you have kidney disease or diabetes. Be cautious if you have dermatitis.
This is a time when pregnancy is more likely. For those who wish to have children, it is a time of opportunity.
In May and July, be careful of injuries. In September, overall health luck is especially low.
This year, be cautious when driving. In particular, take care when driving or walking in the dark.
Accidents tend to arise from places you cannot see. This is the influence of Anken Power.
Interpersonal Luck
Relationships are unstable this year.
Criticism and complaints lower your luck, so avoid them.
In 2026, take the position of an observer in human relationships.
Enjoy watching those around you.
There are many kinds of people. Observe them without judgment.
Think, “So this is how such a person thinks,” or “So this is one way of seeing things.”
Do not judge from a sense of justice.
The people who bring you good opportunities this year are those who carry troublesome problems.
Use your sense of justice there.
There are problems that only you can solve. Do not become irritated. Approach them with a spirit of service and take care of them.
Love Luck
You will meet someone with whom things progress slowly, but who becomes a true partner in ten years.
If you meet someone of the opposite sex in 2026, stay connected as friends at first, with a long-term perspective.
2026 is your chance to meet your soul mate.
This is not a love that advances all at once. It is the stage of sowing seeds.
In the vast universe, the forces of Yin and Yang gather here and there, forming the shapes of all things. When the elements that weave human destiny come together, confusion is born. At such a moment, someone is needed to bring order.
If the way of gathering is misaligned, the threads of fate become tangled and can no longer take form.
To draw everything into one center, one must offer oneself to Heaven and to the ancestors.
To cast oneself into the universe, to abandon everything and pray.
To become one with Yin and Yang, the small self must be let go.
When a family gathers in ritual, the spirits of the ancestors also assemble.
Only when one abandons oneself and becomes one with the universe do all forces finally converge— and only then can great matters be accomplished.
The Lines (Please find your line number using the birth-year chart below.)
1. There is sincerity, but it does not last. You do not know where to concentrate. If you cry out, someone may come to help. Do not be afraid—advance together, and joy will be gained.
2. If you are lifted up by others, good fortune is certain. With true sincerity, even humble offerings bring reward.
3. You wish to gather, yet have no companions. You only lament and gain nothing. You may associate with those of different standing— there is no mistake, yet nothing truly good comes of it.
4. Great good fortune. You should stake yourself and move forward.
5. You gather the hearts of people and rise to a high position. There is no error, yet some are not loyal. If you refine yourself further, there will be no regret.
6. There are no friends left to rely upon. Isolated and helpless, you grieve and weep. Effort is required to break through the present state.
Advice
Be like the earth— accept people from the heart.
If you are always filled with joy, many will naturally gather around you.
Yet, to unite many without confusion, you must first unify your own heart.
✨ Theme for 2026 – Star #7 From Winter to Spring: Laying the Ground for the Next Five Years
From winter to spring, you enter a high-fortune cycle that continues for the next five years.
2026 is a year of building the foundation; you will appear fully on the main stage from 2027.
People will naturally gather around you.
Growth flows from small things to big things.
This is a year of the support role.
Good luck comes from faraway places and distant connections.
2025 was your “winter” and a time of recharging. In 2026, your fortune begins to rise—but this is not yet the year to go full throttle. Think of it as warming up the engine. What you prepared in 2025 should now be moved forward slowly and steadily.
The true acceleration comes in 2027. Without a solid base in 2026, you cannot run strongly through the five years that follow.
🧭 Compass Chart Insight
In 2026, Star #7 is located in the Southwest, overlapping the original position of Star #2. This area holds the power of mother, earth, and nurturing. You are asked to embody tolerance, generosity, and warmth.
Opposite you stands Star #4, the power of prosperity, continuity, trust, order, forests, and healthy relationships.
These energies indicate that:
People and situations around you will offer hints toward good opportunities.
Others are quietly expecting something from you.
On both sides are Star #3 (youth, children, students, sons, schools) and Star #5 (people carrying problems, the power of destruction and rebirth). These are the people and circumstances that support you. Your role is to hold them with patience and steadiness.

📌 Point Advice
① From Winter to Spring – Entering a High-Fortune Cycle After your recharging year in 2025, your fortune begins to rise. However, 2026 is still a preparatory year. Move forward with what you planned in 2025, little by little. This year is about laying the ground for the next nine years.
② Building the Foundation in 2026 / Full Action from 2027 2026 is for groundwork; 2027 is for full acceleration. Your engine is not meant to be pushed to maximum speed yet. Proceed slowly, carefully, and steadily. Only with a solid base can you run strongly through the five-year activity period beginning in 2027.
③ People Will Gather Around You Many people will naturally come to you. Support them—especially those close to you: family, coworkers, friends. Relationships with mothers and wives are particularly important this year.
④ From Small Things to Big Things You may receive tasks that feel minor, tedious, or unprofitable. Yet these are essential. By handling such matters carefully and generously, larger opportunities will follow. What seems insignificant now becomes the foundation of future profit.
⑤ Support Role It is more fortunate to support than to lead this year. This is an excellent time to nurture people, raise subordinates, and build teams.
⑥ Good Luck from Far Away Opportunities, information, and valuable connections come from afar— from distant places, overseas, people you have lost touch with, and the internet. Cherish nearby relationships, but also reopen distant ones. Good news arrives through these channels.
🍀 Luck Forecast
Work
For those developing products or services, this is a year of experimentation. Observe what form things will take. Test, monitor, refine, and prepare.
Sales opportunities appear in 2027, and expansion is favored in 2028.
Work volume increases, often in small or low-profit tasks. You may also be asked to handle complaints. These are essential for raising your fortune in 2026.
Money
A good year for saving.
Income and sales remain stable.
Conservative, savings-oriented investment is recommended.
Small, steady savings grow significantly over time.
Some may become overly cautious and focus too much on money—keep balance.
Health
Do not overwork.
Pay attention to your stomach and digestion.
Women should consult a doctor immediately if they notice gynecological changes.
Acupressure, massage, and walking are recommended.
Be careful of injuries to the right hand.
Relationships Relationships are central this year. Value family, colleagues, and those close to you—especially mothers and wives. At the same time, cultivate mother-like tolerance within yourself.
You may be asked to handle minor tasks. Do not overcalculate profit and loss. Strengthen cooperation and teamwork.
Star #7 people are naturally gentle and kind, so this role suits you. Others will expect calmness and warmth from you.
The person who gives you a crucial hint is someone far away. Reconnect with distant contacts through SNS and online platforms.
Love Look nearby. If you already have a partner, develop the relationship slowly and carefully. Men may encounter romance with an older woman.
🎁 Lucky Inspirations
Lucky Colors: Brown, Yellow, Beige

🧿 Yi-Ching Message (The full Yi-Ching messages will be published in a separate post.)
🌿 Message from Yi-Ching 2026 – Star #7
The Yi-Ching teaches that true “gathering” begins within. When many things come together, confusion arises— so this year asks you to become a calm and steady center.
To unite others, first unify your own heart. To attract people, release the small self.
Like the earth, hold others with quiet generosity. When your heart is settled, people will gather naturally.
→ Please read the full Yi-Ching message in a separate post.
There are moments when silence protects life. And there are moments when a voice reaches it.
As of January 2026, there are two young people who are twenty-six years old— both likely to turn twenty-seven this year— both born under Star #1.
One is a young person living in a distant land. Holding the wish, “Food on children’s tables,” this person continued to raise their voice within a harsh and constrained environment.
The other, the same age and living in a completely different place, learned of this person’s existence despite living under internet restrictions. They raised their voice, saying, “Please let this name be known to the world.” With prayer, that call passed from one person to another, and before long, many voices began to gather.
I cannot say with certainty what exactly caused what followed. But the situation moved, and at the very least, an irreversible ending has been postponed.
It may have been coincidence. And yet, it is also true that voices from around the world were layered there.
Both are Star #1. Both belong to the generation standing at the “core” of this year.
Living under conditions where free expression is difficult, they still connected, exchanged voices, and may have produced a result that moved reality itself—if only slightly.
It feels like a living symbol of what this star holds: the power of water to cross boundaries and reach beyond.
And yet, at the same time, there are moments in this era when raising one’s voice can place another person in danger.
That is why we find ourselves standing still, caught between “speaking” and “protecting.”
I won’t abandon people. But when kindness itself becomes a risk, I honestly don’t know how to behave anymore.
If approaching is dangerous, and distancing is betrayal, what does “being human” even mean here?
I have no idea.
Still—
the fact that these two young people of Star#1 connected within a restricted world and may have reached someone’s life
quietly tells us this:
Even in this age, the power of human beings to remain human has not yet disappeared.
