Hexagram 20 - Wind Earth Guan (Guan) - Xun on top and Kun on bottom - middle upper hexagram

Xiang says: When the hexagram encounters a drought and a river, there will be high interest in business, and someone will help you in marriage, and you will never suffer when you go out.

This hexagram is composed of two different hexagrams (Kun on the bottom and Xun on the top), with wind blowing over the ground, which symbolizes the widespread spread of moral education. Guan Gua and Lin Gua are each other's comprehensive hexagrams and can be used interchangeably. Those in power view the world with morality; those below look up to them with respect, and people’s hearts are obedient and submissive.
