澤雷隨
Core Insight
澤雷隨 — Hexagram 17
Following requires that you be worth following. Adapt to what is real, set aside outdated positions. Sincerity and timing — and the way is faultless.
The Image
澤中有雷，隨；君子以嚮晦入宴息。
The Image of Following: rest when the day closes, so following remains voluntary rather than compulsive. Treat the image as practical discipline, not decoration: let it shape the next concrete choice.
Shifting lines
初爻
At the beginning of Following, keep the move small. Clarify the real question before seeking momentum.
二爻

三爻
Pressure rises in Following. Do not make the tension theatrical; name the risk and reduce the unnecessary load.
四爻
The situation nears a threshold. Recheck motives, adjust the method, and avoid forcing a premature outcome.
五爻
This is the governing line of Following. Act from the clearest principle and make the decision useful to others.
上爻
