Governing text · Qian: Nine in the second place
In plain wordsThe dragon appears in the open field. People are starting to see what you can do. This is the time to go and meet someone who can lift you up; it is favorable.
- 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 second 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 Tongren (Fellowship): Find like-minded people and do it together. This can succeed.
- 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.
