| The present is embodied in Hexagram 59 - Huan (Dissolution): There will be progress and success. The king goes to his ancestral temple, and it will be advantageous to cross the great stream. It will be advantageous to be firm and correct. |
| The third line, divided, shows its subject discarding any regard to his own person. There will be no occasion for repentance. |
| The fourth line, divided, shows its subject scattering the different parties in the state, which leads to great good fortune. From the dispersion he collects again good men standing out, a crowd like a mound, which is what ordinary men would not have thought of. |
| The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject amidst the dispersion issuing his great announcements as the perspiration flows from his body. He scatters abroad also the accumulations in the royal granaries. There will be no error. |
| The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject disposing of what may be called its bloody wounds, and going and separating himself from its anxious fears. There will be no error. |
| The situation is changing rapidly, but neither Yin (the passive feminine force) nor Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 32 - Heng (Duration): Successful progress and no error is indicated, but the advantage will come from being firm and correct. Any movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous. |
 | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. |
 | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'an (Water), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, danger and the unknown are giving way to penetration and following. |
