Svadhisthana — Sacral Chakra, Creative Waters

The sacral chakra governs desire, pleasure, creative flow — water element, the seat of rasa (aesthetic juice). Hex 58 (The Joyous) is doubled lake, shared delight that nourishes without depleting. Hex 31 (Influence) is lake over mountain, mutual attraction. Svadhisthana means 'one's own dwelling place' — the body's natural capacity for pleasure before shame or repression distort it. Both hexagrams describe receptivity as a form of strength.
