| The third line, divided, shows calamity happening to one who is free from insincerity, as in the case of an ox that has been tied up. A passer by finds it and carries it off, while the people in the neighbourhood have the calamity of being accused and apprehended. |
| The fifth line, undivided, shows one who is free from insincerity, and yet has fallen ill. Let him not use medicine, and he will have occasion for joy in his recovery. |
| The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject free from insincerity, yet sure to fall into error, if he take action. His action will not be advantageous in any way. |
| The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground. |
| The future is embodied in Hexagram 55 - Feng (Abundance): Progress and development is intimated. When a king has reached the point of abundance, there is no occasion to be anxious through fear of a change. Let him be as the sun at noon. |
 | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Chi'en (Heaven), which is tansforming into Chen (Thunder). As part of this process, strength and creativity are giving way to movement, initiative, and action. |
