The remaining four trigrams, Mountain 4, Thunder 2, Lake 8, and Sprout 6, present an interesting exposition of human perception of space and time.
Remember, to read the three lined figure known as a trigram, look for the one differing line. A contrasting first line, at the bottom, represents beginnings, activity and creation(verb). Thunder 2 has a bottom yang line and represents a yang beginning that comes on strong. Sprout’s bottom yin line 6 describes a gentle yin impulse, like a plant growing.
The last line (at the top) represents resting, stillness or creation(noun). The Mountain trigram 4 and the Lake trigram 8 have their signature line at the top.
