What is Xun (Wind)?
Xun (巽) is the trigram of Wind and Wood (風·木), seated in the southeast of the Later Heaven bagua; a person whose Life Gua is Xun belongs to the East Four Houses (東四命). Such a person is seen to permeate gently like the wind, resolving matters with flexibility and getting along well with others.
