Opposition: in small matters, good fortune. Fire flames upward, the lake seeps downward — two sisters under one roof whose wills move apart. Yet the judgment is not grim: where estrangement rules, great projects fail, but small steps succeed, and opposition itself has uses — all distinction, all fruitful polarity, begins as difference.
Above, fire; below, the lake: the superior person, amid all fellowship, retains their individuality. Even joined, the wise remain themselves — and grant others the same right; unity that erases difference is not unity but absorption.
You are dealing with estrangement — a person, group or situation whose nature genuinely diverges from yours — and the counsel is precise: do not attempt grand reconciliations or joint ventures now; they will founder on the divergence. Work small: minor agreements, modest courtesies, single points of real contact, letting trust re-accumulate coin by coin. Meanwhile, keep your individuality without hostility — difference is not enmity unless handled badly. Misunderstandings abound under this sign; verify before reacting. Small bridges now; the great bridge later.
