The Army · Di Shui Shi
The Army — the discipline that turns many into one.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 7 is the gathering of a disciplined force — many wills under a single clear command. The leader acts with justice, feeds the troops well, and keeps authority tight. When this hexagram appears, order is strength: organize, appoint, and move as one body rather than many voices.
Structure of the hexagram
- Lower trigram: Water (Kan) · Water
- Upper trigram: Earth (Kun) · Earth
- House: Water (Kan) · Water
- Text in the original Chinese: 地水师
