Fellowship · Tian Huo Tong Ren
Fellowship — strangers joined by a shared, open cause.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 13 is the gathering of those who are not kin but are made one by a common purpose. It speaks of community built in the open — traveling together, sharing hardship and triumph. Make common cause with others, keep the purpose public and honest, and fellowship will carry what one person cannot.
