Hexagram 12 - Obstruction Hexagram - I Ching 64 Hexagrams
Introduction to the Obstruction Hexagram
Major Misfortune. The Obstruction Hexagram symbolizes obstacles in development, estrangement in relationships, and lack of communication and cooperation. Its appearance often indicates being stuck or facing significant challenges, making progress difficult.
Hexagram Text (Translation)
Being denied by powerful individuals, working hard but gaining little. One should skillfully avoid losses. For example, when working for a company, one must give up personal freedom and follow the boss's arrangements. The boss earns much, while the worker earns little. Support others, help them succeed, and avoid personal misfortune.

The six Yaos of the Obstruction Hexagram describe how petty people collude after a powerful nation is established, while righteous individuals slowly rise—a process opposite to the 《Pervading Hexagram》. It represents unfavorable conditions and a closed environment.
