Hexagram 7: The Army (ๅธซ Shi) โ€” Earth over Water

True leadership is gentle, disciplined, and virtuous. Like Melissa, Hexagram 7 embodies the power of calm guidance โ€” the leader who organizes without force, who directs with wisdom, who brings order from within. The army moves as one when led with virtue.
