Shared Abundance

Fire sits above heaven in this hexagram, which the classical image reads as light cast wide across everything below — nothing hidden, nothing left in shadow. It's one of the more straightforwardly favorable pairings in the sequence: real capability, visible and recognized, at a moment when the returns actually match the effort put in. Whatever's been building has reached a point where it's paying out and being seen by the people whose opinion of it matters.

The strategic read here is measured rather than triumphant — the line texts lean mixed rather than uniformly favorable, a reminder that abundance handled carelessly turns brittle fast. The move that holds up isn't to bank the win quietly or claim it alone, but to put it in view and let it circulate: credit shared, gains distributed, position used rather than hoarded.
