Hexagram 42 is named 益 (yì), “Augmenting”. Other variations include “increase”. Its inner trigram is ☳ (震 zhèn) shake = (雷) thunder, and its outer trigram is ☴ (巽 xùn) ground = (風) wind.
Augmenting
Confucius/Legge: Increase shows the upper trigram brilliantly decreased to augment the lower. What descends from above reaches to all below, and the satisfaction of the people is without limit. Advantage in movement is shown in the blessings dispensed by the second and fifth lines from their correct positions. The action of Wood shows that it is advantageous to cross the great stream. Through the trigrams of Movement and Humility there is unlimited daily advancement — heaven dispenses and earth produces, and all proceeds according to the requirements of the time.
