Decay; hold steady.

Sơn Địa Bác (剝) — Decay Ý nghĩa tổng quan

Sơn Địa Bác depicts the image of a mountain slowly eroding into earth—a natural process of gradual disintegration. The upper trigram Sơn (Mountain) represents stillness and boundaries; the lower trigram Địa (Earth) embodies receptiveness and foundation. Together they show how even the most solid structures yield to time. This hexagram speaks not of sudden collapse, but of slow, inexorable wearing away. It is neither wholly negative nor positive; rather, it acknowledges a universal rhythm of decay and renewal, a season when restraint and clear sight matter most. Khi bạn gieo được quẻ này

The present moment calls for honest assessment. Something in your life—a relationship, project, belief, or circumstance—is gradually coming undone, and denying this will only prolong confusion. This is the time to observe without panic, to let go of what no longer serves, and to prepare the ground for what may grow next. Hold steady by accepting what is, rather than clinging to what was. Clarity comes from facing the process with patience and grace. Tình duyên

In relationships, Bác suggests a period of natural cooling or necessary distance. Rather than resist this drift, use it to reflect on what truly binds you to another. If love remains, it will show itself more clearly once illusions fall away. If the bond is weakening genuinely, accepting this frees both partners to move forward with dignity. Sự nghiệp

Professional circumstances may feel unstable or a project losing momentum. This is a signal to consolidate what matters, release excess, and strengthen your core skills. Sometimes stepping back reveals what deserves your real investment. Tài lộc & sức khỏe

Financially, practice restraint and avoid new risk. Health benefits from rest and gentle renewal; attend to small warnings before they become serious.
