The ☷ symbol, known as the Trigram for Earth (Kun) in the ancient Chinese divination text I Ching, consists of three broken Yin lines. It traditionally represents receptivity, yielding energy, and the natural earth in Taoist philosophy. Today, it is commonly used in discussions around feng shui, Eastern spirituality, and Bagua maps to symbolize grounding and maternal energy.
