I Ching Hexagram 39 - 📈 Business

Progress is blocked. Hexagram 39 calls for resilience, adaptability, and creative problem-solving. In business, this may be a financial limit, regulatory barrier, or internal obstacle.

Don’t charge ahead. Pause. Reroute. Seek counsel. Sometimes the solution is lateral, not linear.

Obstacles are not punishments—they are invitations to evolve your strategy.

Let the challenge refine your movement.
