Xun, six in the fourth placeHexagram 57, line 4 · Xun (The Gentle Wind) · changing to 44
The line
In plain wordsRegret vanishes. The hunt brings in three kinds of game, every one of them useful: there is real, solid achievement.
The Image commentary on this line
田獲三品，有功也。
"In the hunt, three kinds of game are taken": there is achievement.
The small Image commentary is the earliest explanation of the line texts. It usually explains a line from its position: where it stands, whether it holds the center, and which line answers it.
Verdict
平Neutral. Neither good nor bad. Do your part, correct mistakes, and nothing will go wrong.

Asking about work, love or money
- Work
- You are close to those above you, a delicate position where mistakes come easily. Keep to your role and do the work solidly and modestly, and you will have real results to show, every one of them useful.
- Love
- The worries you had before can be set down. Put your feelings into practice: remember what matters to the other person, and help where you can. Real, concrete care wins a true heart better than sweet words.
- Money
- What you were worried about has passed, and this time the gains are real. Divide them by purpose: save what should be saved, put to proper use what should be used, and thank those who should be thanked, so that nothing goes to waste.
This is how to read it when this is the only changing line. With several changing lines, first see which text governs; for the hexagram as a whole, see Xun.
Line position
A yin line in a yin place: it is in its proper place. Its partner is the first line, which is also yin, so there is no answer from it.
Fourth place: next to the ruler, a place of caution. Serve those above with care.
When you get this line
If this is the only changing line in your cast (three inscribed sides, old yin), this line is your answer. The primary hexagram is Xun (The Gentle Wind); when this line changes it becomes Gou (Encounter): hexagram 57 changing to 44.
