Hexagram 38: Opposition (็ Kui) โ€” Fire over Lake

In opposition, small things may still be accomplished. Patchouli, like Hexagram 38, holds the tension of opposites โ€” earthy yet transcendent, grounding yet deeply sensual. It teaches that apparent contradiction can become creative polarity, and that beauty emerges from the meeting of differences.
