Increase · Feng Lei Yi
Increase — the overflow that moves from the full to the empty.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 42 is the increase that comes from moving what is abundant to what is lacking — the strong helping the weak, the full pouring into the empty. The times are on your side, so act and give generously. What you release outward returns as growth; increase belongs to the one who lets it flow.
