| 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 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 sixth line, undivided, shows the representative of penetration beneath a couch, and having lost the axe with which he executed his decision. However firm and correct he may try to be, there will be evil. |
| The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 39 - Chien (Obstruction): Advantage will be found in the southwest, and the contrary in the northeast. It will be advantageous to meet with the great man. With firmness and correctness, there will be good fortune. |
 | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into K'an (Water). As part of this process, penetration and following 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 Ken (Mountain). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to stillness and obstruction. |
