18 Working on what has been spoilt (Decay)
|
Trigrams : cultivating (bottom), discerning (top) : with/from cultivating comes discerning. [mountain over wind]
The mud from which 18 has emerged is best described by analogy to the under-stated qualities of hexagram 11, harmonising, balancing.
As a marker of context, where context acts to PUSH instincts, 07 'demands' a preferred response of the qualities of hexagram 53, maturing, gradual development.
At the LOCAL level we are dealing with an octet of hexagrams with the WIND trigram as base. In this sequence hexagram 18, the focus upon correcting corruptions, 'opposes' hexagram 28, excess, going beyond what is required. More so, the exaggerated sense of excess, of 'going beyond what is required', is reflected in a more balanced format through the focus on correcting corruptions.
