Gathering · Ze Di Cui
Gathering — the community that forms around a shared sincerity.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 45 is the great coming together — people, resources, and spirits converging around a single honest center. To gather well, you must be someone worth gathering around: trust the good ones, and let a true leader arise. Offer what is genuine, and the circle will hold.
