Hexagram 21 – Biting Through – Rich I Ching

“The needy are invited to eat” – A Stroke of Good Fortune

This phrase describes a man who, after going three days without food, is too weak to leave his home. By chance, a kind person arrives and offers him a meal, gradually restoring his strength. Drawing this hexagram signifies luck and timely assistance—help arrives precisely when it is needed most.

“A morsel in hunger is worth a feast in plenty.”

Aid given at the right moment is true kindness; helping someone in need fosters gratitude, while assistance given when unnecessary may go unappreciated.
