Water AKA The Abysmal

Symbol of containing in the bottom position of a hexagram, and overcoming/control when in the top position of a hexagram. One of the six 'mixed' trigrams, symbolic of the interaction of degrees of yin and yang. In the template it is representative of contractive bounding and thus an overall bias to making of distinctions through the establishment of boundaries seperating inner and outer. (e.g. socialization through structured education)

In the Myers-Briggs/Keirsey systems of persona classification it is linked to XSFJ/Conservators and is mostly concerned with security seeking through creating boundaries (e.g. Protectors, Provision of necessities).

The numeric link is with rational numbers. (distinction of parts).
