Governing text · Xun: Six in the fourth place
In plain wordsRegret vanishes. The hunt brings in three kinds of game, every one of them useful: there is real, solid achievement.
- Now
- The hexagram of wind: it gets in everywhere, by yielding and seeping through, not by force.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the fourth place. The answer is in that line. Neither good nor bad. Do your part, correct mistakes, and nothing will go wrong.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Gou (Encounter): A person or a matter you run into unexpectedly; do not get deeply involved lightly.
- What to do
- Follow capable people; going forward is favorable. But yielding does not mean having no mind of your own. When it is time to decide, decide.

You are out of step with each other. Big things will not work; small ones still can.
