What this change means

Tension rises like a lake pressing up toward heaven. The top line leads this change: your position on the outskirts lets you make agreements with all kinds of people, and there's no regret in that. The second line warns of the opposite pull, the narrow clan that keeps others out and stalls every project. The resulting hexagram, 43 Overflowing, shows pressure building to the point where things could get out of control. Read together, exclusion is what's filling the lake. Pressure from grudges, cliques or unspoken grievances needs to come into the open, but with care: choose your words so you don't trigger a reaction. Lean on your reach across groups to let some of the pressure out. Generosity toward those who've felt left out can ease the strain before it spills over.

The judgment of 43 Overflowing
It's a time of excessive buildup: some situations are about to get out of control and overwhelm you, both personally and in your relationships. You need to bring what's happening into the open, but without speaking about it directly; watch your words so you don't provoke reactions. It's a time to act generously to ease the tension that's there.

It is proclaimed in the king's court. A sincere cry: there is danger. Word comes from one's own city. It is not favorable to take up arms. It is favorable to have somewhere to go.
