- Now
- This is the strongest, most vigorous of the sixty-four hexagrams: the conditions are in place, the strength is there, and things are on the rise.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the fifth place. The answer is in that line. This text describes a good outcome. Act the way it says and the matter can succeed. The promise has a condition: keep to the right course.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Dayou (Great Possession): A time of rich harvest. Everything goes very smoothly.
- What to do
- Push forward on your own initiative and keep up the effort. At the same time, see clearly which stage you have reached: at the start, build up strength first; when you gain the upper hand, don't get arrogant; when you reach the top, know when to pull back.
