Enthusiasm · Lei Di Yu
Enthusiasm — the drumbeat that moves people to rise together.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 16 is the thunder that sets everyone in motion — energy that is genuinely shared and spontaneously enjoyed. When enthusiasm is real, no urging is needed; people move on their own. Prepare the occasion well and let the mood carry the work, but keep a plan beneath the excitement.
