Gate 15: Extremes

I'Ching hexagram: Modesty

The embrace of extremes — full engagement or full retreat

Gate 15 is the gate of extremes. Your engagement with life swings between total immersion and total withdrawal, and the rhythm isn't negotiable. Some days you're the most social person in the room. Other days you need to disappear entirely. This isn't inconsistency — it's the natural breath of your design. The practice is stopping the apology for your range.
