| The present is embodied in Hexagram 44 - Kou (Coming to Meet): We see a female who is bold and strong. It will not be good to marry such a female. |
| The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows how its subject should be kept like a carriage tied and fastened to a metal drag, in which case with firm correctness there will be good fortune. However, if he move in any direction, evil will appear. He will be like a lean pig, which is sure to keep jumping about. |
| The second line, undivided, shows its subject with a wallet of fish. There will be no error. But it will not be well to let the subject of the first line go forward to the guests. |
| The fourth line, undivided, shows its subject with his wallet, but no fish in it. This will give rise to evil. |
| The sixth line, undivided, shows its subject receiving others on his horns. There will be occasion for regret, but there will be no error. |
| The situation is changing rapidly, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 63 - Chi Chi (After Completion): We see progress and success in small matters. There will be advantage in being firm and correct. There has been good fortune in the beginning, but there may be disorder in the end. |
 | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to danger and the unknown. |
 | 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. |
