57. Sun / The Gentle (The Penetrating, Wind)

Sun is one of the eight double trigrams. It is the eldest daughter and symbolizes wind or wood; it has for its attribute gentleness, which none the less penetrates like the wind or like growing wood with its roots.
The dark principle, in itself rigid and immovable, is dissolved by the penetrating light principle, to which it subordinates itself in gentleness. In nature, it is the wind that disperses the gathered clouds, leaving the sky clear and serene. In human life it is penetrating clarity of judgement that thwarts all dark hidden motives. In the life of the community it is the powerful influence of a great personality that uncovers and breaks up those intrigues which shun the light of day.
