๐Ÿง  Jung's Psychological System (Wilhelm/Baynes I Ching):

Geburah = Shadow / Critical Function

Hexagram 21: Biting Through (ๅ™ฌๅ—‘ Shi He) - Judgment, discipline, cutting through illusion

Trigrams (Vertical):

โ˜ฒ Li (Fire)
โ˜ณ Zhen (Thunder)

Essential Oil (Benavides & Silva): Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) - Strength, boundaries, grounding, discipline

๐Ÿ’ก Understanding Jung's System:

Geburah (Strength) = Shadow / Critical Function in Jung's psychology - the confrontation with the shadow, the necessary discipline that cuts through illusion and establishes boundaries.
Hexagram 21: Biting Through (ๅ™ฌๅ—‘ Shi He) - Fire over Thunder - represents judgment, discipline, the power to cut through obstacles and enforce justice.
Wilhelm/Baynes translation (Jung's preferred I Ching edition)

The Logic: Geburah as Strength represents divine severity, the necessary boundaries that contain Chesed's expansion. Jung's concept of the Shadow as the critical function that confronts illusion aligns perfectly with Hexagram 21's biting through - the decisive action that cuts away what must be removed.
