Map 596 Hexagrams and their Shadows



1/7 and 4/1 are shadows in the hexagrams too. Hex 47 and 48 all of 1/7 is moving from NE to SW and all of 4/1 is moving from SW to NE. As we know already 7 and 4 are interchangeable.



We can also see that the 1/7 boxes meet their reverse numbers in 1/4 and create the pattern we have seen before which I call Solo Man's Temple.

If 1/7 is exhaustion of waters it is rather nice that 4/1 is The Well – an inexhaustible supply of water which is its shadow hexagram. 1/7 Hex 47 - 4/1 is Hex 48. 1/4 is Hexagram 59. 1/7 moves NE to SW and 1/4 moves SW to NE. Hexagram 59 is Wind over Water so should you be experiencing any blockages to your progress the wind gently blows across the waters dispersing those blocks to your energy and releasing them.

So as a Hexagram 47 person I no longer need to worry about exhaustion when my shadow never leaves me and has inexhaustible supplies and should I become blocked by various of life's situations I have Hexagram 59 to gently disperse those blockages and help me to move on.

I feel that the shadow of Hexagram 59 cannot be ignored and that is Hexagram 60 – 7/1. Limitations, water over the lake gives limits because once the lake is full all it can do is overflow so setting a limit is required for this hexagram. Very much a story about water.
