| The present is embodied in Hexagram 57 - Sun (Wind): There will be some little attainment and progress. There will be advantage in movement onward in whatever direction. It will be advantageous to see the great man. |
| The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows its subject now advancing, now receding. It would be advantageous for him to have the firm correctness of a brave soldier. |
| The second line, undivided, shows the representative of Sun beneath a couch, and employing diviners and exorcists in a way bordering on confusion. There will be good fortune and no error. |
| The fourth line, divided, shows all occasion for repentance in its subject passed away. He takes game for its threefold use in his hunting. |
| The fifth line, undivided, shows that with firm correctness there will be good fortune to its subject. All occasion for repentance will disappear, and all his movements will be advantageous. There may have been no good beginning, but there will be a good end. Three days before making any changes, let him give notice of them, and three days after, let him reconsider them. There will thus be good fortune. |
| 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 30 - Li (Fire): It will be advantageous to be firm and correct, and in doing so there will be a free course and success. Let him also nourish a docility like that of the cow, and there will be good fortune. |

| The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to brightness and warmth. |
