Qián (乾) — The Creative

Six unbroken yang lines — Heaven doubled, creative force at maximum concentration. No yin anywhere in the structure; pure initiative, pure ascending energy, zero receptivity. The classical text tracks this across all six lines: hidden in the depths, appearing in the field, active all day, leaping from the abyss, flying in heaven, then — the line everyone skips — "arrogant dragon will have cause to repent." The pattern peaks and must return. Use the momentum; know it won't hold at this pitch indefinitely.
