This trigram consists of two Kun trigrams stacked together, representing the yin force. It symbolizes the earth (opposite to the Qian trigram), yielding to heaven. It carries all things and extends endlessly. The Kun trigram is symbolized by a female horse, indicating that the earth gives birth to and nurtures all things, yet follows the heavens and is timely, with a gentle nature. It proves that "Kun" yields to "Qian," following "Qian," in order to grasp the correct direction, follow the right path, and achieve auspiciousness.

Interpretation by Zhang Mingren in Taiwan:
Earth represents the mother, the natural maternal nature. It is a pure trigram of six conflicts, representing a trigram of great good and great bad. Advantages: Like a mother, gentle, self-sacrificing, and giving, with everything in harmony. Disadvantages: Too compromising, lacking personal ideas and concepts. In terms of relationships, there is the influence of past causes and effects. One is like a mother or elder sister, caring for the other without regret, which can be very tiring and laborious. In career, it is suitable to be an assistant, and it is not advisable to take on leadership roles, as one may be too weak to accomplish much.
