Hexagram 28, Great Exceeding
Key Questions
What is overloaded?
What have you outgrown?
What must you do?
Oracle
‘Great Exceeding, the ridgepole warps.
Fruitful to have a direction to go.
Creating success.’
When you exceed something, you cross over a line and make a transition. The traditional Chinese house has a structure like an old-fashioned tent: uprights support a horizontal ridgepole, and all the weight of roof and walls is suspended from there. Here, the ridgepole’s limits have been exceeded; the supporting framework is no longer adequate to the weight it’s asked to bear.
This means stress, and also a greatness of spirit and purpose that goes beyond the scope of the situation. It is fruitful to have a direction to go, to reach out imaginatively and explore. Since things cannot hold up as they are, there must be movement.

‘The lake submerges the tree: Great Exceeding.
A noble one stands alone without fear,
Withdraws from the time without sadness.’
Sequence
Great Exceeding follows from Hexagram 27, Nourishment:
‘With no nurturance, it is not possible to act, and so Great Exceeding follows.’
Changing Lines
Line 4
‘The ridgepole at its peak, good fortune.
If there is more, shame.’
Line 5
‘Withered willow sprouts flowers,
Venerable woman gets an upright husband.
No blame, no praise.’
Hexagram 46, Pushing Upward
Key Questions
Is this something you can commit yourself to?
Where might it take you?
What is the next step?
Oracle
‘Pushing upward, creating success from the source.
Make use of seeing great people.
Do not worry.
Set forth to the south, good fortune.’
The old Chinese character for ‘Pushing Upward’ shows a small ladle used to measure out offerings and official salaries. It suggests a step-by-step ascent, one measure at a time. This is a vigorous, active time. Come from the source of inspiration and involve it in your work. Make good use of seeing great people, whether in the flesh or with your inner vision, to charge you with the energy to begin your ascent. Use them to inspire you with a vision of possibilities, and for information and help on how to move on upward.
Hard work and steep slopes lie ahead, but the oracle reassures you that you need not worry or doubt. Instead, set your face to the south, as the ruler does: align your initiatives with the natural order (which can be read in the stars and the compass), and set out towards warmth, light and activity.
Image
‘Centre of the earth gives birth to wood: Pushing Upward.
A noble one with patient character
Builds up small things to attain the high and great.’
Sequence
Pushing Upward follows from Hexagram 45, Gathering:
‘Assembling and moving higher is called Pushing Upward, and so Pushing Upward follows.’
