Yang-Water\u00a0(r\u00e9n, \u58ec).\u00a0is the powerful flowingness of water, like an ocean current or a large river.\u00a0 Dark and mysterious, like the color of ocean at night.\u00a0 Abundant resources carrying with them a risk harm if not properly navigated.\u00a0 Tiger\u00a0(y\u00edn, \u5bc5)\u00a0is robust and ambitious, yet instable and impulsive (\u201cstripes\u201d) \u2013 sneaking, pouncing, feasting, napping \u2013 and potentially overbearing.\u00a0 Tiger is qi popping outward like a young shoot first popping through the surface of the earth into the limelight.\u00a0 Wait \u2013 or is it qi crouching downward in anticipation or apprehension, hiding in the shadows?\u00a0 Yes to both.\u00a0 Hissing, growling, purring, meowing.\u00a0 The epitome of soft and subtle, the consummate predator.\u00a0 The native Phase of Tiger is Yang-Wood; Water nourishes Wood, so this is like Tiger with its parent \u2013 well-nourished so not too hungry, so it is able to set aside its own concerns and merge like water with its community.\u00a0 Tiger is always a leader, and always ambitious, so Water Tiger gathers the community for some collective purpose.\u00a0 When Water expresses through Tiger it is big and bold, rising up and mixing things together, moving forward with purpose \u2013 yet always potentially dangerous like deep roiling waters.\u00a0 Water calms Tiger however, so this Tiger may keep danger at bay via preparation, positioning, and communication (think 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis).<\/p>\n

Water Tiger corresponds to Hexagram #45, Valley\/Earth: \u201cAssembly\u201d.\u00a0 Empty and open within, channels of exchange without.\u00a0 The character (\u8403) shows numerous people wearing matching vestments.\u00a0 Uniting together with common purpose.\u00a0 Notably, the character also means sudden death \u2013 potential danger.\u00a0 The iconic image of an army of soldiers gathered together sharpening their weaponry.\u00a0 Valley is where water gathers to form rivers and lakes: mixing with others; Earth means open field, no agenda \u2013 completely adaptable.\u00a0 Water Tiger thus surrenders its own agenda and dissolves into its community.\u00a0 This is a social Tiger \u2013 as though Water cleanses Tiger\u2019s customary self-consideration and allows it to find and express true virtue as a member of the clan.\u00a0 Water Tiger is the powerful force that unites a community to make collective ritual offerings.\u00a0 There is potential danger in the situation, so we need to watch closely and maintain some order.\u00a0 Tiger likes to expand and can get a bit too enthusiastic, so the rivers may flood \u2013 yet Water calms Tiger so this Tiger is less likely to over-do things.\u00a0 This hexagram describes the power (Tiger) of surrendering ourselves (Earth) and joining together (Water, Valley) with others.\u00a0 The pleasure of communal unity: a calm, content Tiger – but still always potentially violent.\u00a0 The key for Water Tiger is giving up our own agenda, dissolving into our community, and assembling the clan for collective purpose: purring together and sharpening our claws.<\/p>\n
