The Lake on the Mountain, at least according to the combination of trigrams. Balkin talks at length of the Confucian family relations spin as well, the youngest daughter joined to the youngest son, hence "Mutual Attraction."
Today I am more mindful than usual of the approach to Tarot, which holds that no card of itself is good or bad, that each has potential in either direction, and that the goal is to use the energy in question because it is at hand, on tap. I find it harder to maintain this distance from the readings of the I Ching, but the concept holds true nonetheless. And so, taking the Balkin reading, I would say "infatuation" and "use the energy derived therefrom...but do not mistake it for love...but neither close your heart to its innocence and stirring power."
However, for me there is another part of the reading. I have used a metaphor of a mountain lake to describe the mind. Such a lake is fed by rain from above, a spring below, three streams, to correspond to the senses. Water leaves the lake through evaporation, through seepage into the water table, and through the spill at the bottom edge where it moves into the river that eventually makes its way to the ocean. Those represent different kinds of messages/interactions/outputs we give to the world, conscious, unconscious. It's a wider, more organic, less linear, and more suitable for meditative reflection, gloss on "Garbage In, Garbage Out," and I can't help so reflecting in the presence of this hexagram. I do not for a moment suppose that this is "the proper reading" for the hexagram.
The Mountain and the Lake can seem to be opposites, but finding a lake on top of a mountain points to the reality: They are complements.
Soon it will change.
