Dà Guò (大過) — Great Exceeding

Lake above Wind — the ridgepole sagging under too much weight, the structure overloaded. "It furthers to have somewhere to go." Standing still under the excess isn't an option; something must give. The hexagram doesn't promise an easy path through — "the superior man stands alone without fear, withdraws from the world without regret" — but it confirms that decisive movement, even into uncertainty, beats staying under a collapsing beam.
