Starter question
What does the situation require, and what posture can I practice within it?
Yarrow practice guide
I Ching Judgment and Image
Use the Judgment to frame the situation and the Image to explore a posture or practice without collapsing them into one slogan.
What to notice
The Judgment and Image can do different work. The Judgment frames the field of action; the Image turns the hexagram's pattern into a way of carrying yourself inside that field.
Common mistake
Blending every source passage into one modern summary makes it harder to see which claim comes from which layer of the tradition.
One accountable action
Copy one phrase from the Judgment and one from the Image, label them separately, then connect each to one observable part of your situation.
Return later
Did the Judgment change what I noticed, while the Image changed how I intended to respond?
Keep the source visible
Yarrow shows the received cast and classical source path before optional modern reflection. Use the reading to improve attention and action, not to outsource judgment.
