| The second line, divided, shows its subject with the appearance of advancing, and yet of being sorrowful. If he be firm and correct, there will be good fortune. He will receive this great blessing from his grandmother. |

| The fifth line, divided, shows how all occasion for repentance disappears from its subject. But let him not concern himself about whether he shall fail or succeed. To advance will be fortunate, and in every way advantageous. |
| The situation is shifting, and Yang (the active masculine force) is becoming much more powerful. |

 | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Li (Fire), which is transforming into Chi'en (Heaven). As part of this process, brightness and warmth are giving way to strength and creativity. |
 | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram K'un (Earth), which is transforming into Sun (Wind). As part of this process, docility and receptivity are giving way to penetration and following. |
