Biting through; resolve obstacles decisively and fairly.
The image
Fire over thunder: thunder and lightning together. Biting through obstacles.
Judgment
噬嗑：亨，利用獄。
Biting through: success. It furthers one to administer justice. Something stuck between the teeth must be bitten through; remove obstacles decisively and judge fairly.
