HEXAGRAM
31: CUTTING
Sacrifice may be auspicious.
The Lines (base to top)
Stubby foot with toes chopped off
Ankles on a chopping block
Sharp blades cut slashes in thighs
Run away from the slasher
Mutilated midsection
A chopped off tongue will not wag
Commentary
Lake over mountain. A mountain lake would be a pleasant place to meet friends.
Sometimes things aren't as bad as they seem. The gruesome images of the lines are a caution that this might not be a time for movement or talk.
Give it a rest.
