The Corners of the Mouth: perseverance brings good fortune. Pay heed to the providing of nourishment and to what a man seeks to fill his own mouth with. The hexagram is itself an open mouth — strong lines as lips, yielding lines as teeth — and its whole teaching is nourishment: what you feed yourself and others, in food, words and thought, determines what you all become.
At the foot of the mountain, thunder: the superior person is careful of their words and temperate in eating and drinking. What leaves the mouth and what enters it are the two hygienes of character; the wise tend both.
Audit your nourishment — that is this hexagram's plain instruction. What are you actually feeding your body, mind and spirit these days, and what are you feeding the people who depend on you? Track the diet of information and company as strictly as the diet of food, and watch your words, which are nourishment you serve others. Note too whom you nourish: providing for the worthy multiplies; providing only for your own mouth diminishes. You become what you feed — choose the menu deliberately.
