雷风恒 & decision

Read 雷风恒 (Duration) as a mirror, not an answer key. It does not foretell how a decision turns out; it offers a set of angles for looking at where you actually stand right now.

The judgment reads "亨，无咎，利贞。利有攸往". 雷风恒 is built from thunder above (震) over wind below (巽) — 雷风，恒；君子以立不易方. In everyday terms it sketches a kind of situational "weather" rather than a verdict. The questions below are drawn straight from that imagery — they are for you to answer, about a decision.

Turn the imagery of 雷风恒 into questions you ask yourself

1. 1The upper trigram of 雷风恒 is thunder, the lower is wind. In your decision right now, which part is like the "thunder" above — outward-facing, responding to the world? And which is like the "wind" below — your quieter, underlying ground?
2. 2If the judgment "亨，无咎，利贞。利有攸往" were describing the thing you are weighing, which word would you reach for first, and why that one?
3. 3雷风恒 describes the "timing" of a situation. Is the choice in front of you one to move with — or one to pause on until you can see it clearly?
4. 4Read 雷风恒's line 3 as the "stepping-over" line. Looking back from three months out, would you want this decision to have rested on ground as steady as the wind below — or to have been a rush to resolve it?
5. 5Is there one small thing in this choice you keep avoiding — like the thunder standing above and outside in 雷风恒, the part you will have to answer to sooner or later?

雷风恒 gives you an angle on a decision, not a should-or-shouldn't. The real work is to carry these questions back into your own situation — the answer is in you, not in the hexagram. The classical line text above is quoted in Chinese; the real work sits in the everyday choices only you can see.

Yarrow Yi casts hexagrams deterministically (by time, by hand, or by coin) and treats the I Ching as a tool for self-awareness — not for predicting fortune.
