Governing text · Kun: Six in the fifth place
In plain wordsWearing a yellow lower garment. You are in a high position yet modest and centered, yielding through and through. Great good fortune.
- Now
- This is the most yielding of the hexagrams: like the earth, it carries and cooperates. Rush to the front and you easily lose your way; follow the right person or direction and things go smoothly.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six 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 Bi (Alliance): It is time to find people to work with and draw close to your companions, and to do it early.
- What to do
- Keep a low posture, work steadily, and do the supporting and the carrying-out properly. Don't compete for control. Patiently, over the long term, keep to your own role.
