Hexagram 5. 需 — Water over Heaven (Waiting)

🌿 Meaning and elemental image:

Clouds gather but rain has not arrived. Waiting becomes useful when it protects resources and prepares the field.

🧭 Practical step:

Prepare what is within your control today and let the rest mature.

⚠️ What to watch for:

Avoid forcing guarantees, interpreting delay as rejection or wasting strength on impatience.

✨ Reflection:

“My worth does not depend on an immediate result.”

A cultural and reflective reference, not a guaranteed prediction or medical guidance.
