indicates that (under the conditions which it symbolizes) it will be
advantageous to be firm and correct.
1. The
first NINE, undivided, shows its subject manifesting his strength in
his toes. But advance will lead to evil, -most certainly.
2. The
second NINE, undivided, shows that with firm correctness there will
be good fortune.
3. The
third NINE, undivided, shows, in the case of a small man, one using
all his strength; and in the case of a superior man, one whose rule
is not to do so. Even with firm correctness the position would be perilous.
(The exercise of strength in it might be compared to the case of) a
ram butting against a fence, and getting his horns entangled.
4. The
fourth NINE, undivided, shows (a case in which) firm correctness leads
to good fortune, and occasion for repentance disappears. (We see) the
fence opened without the horns being entangled. The strength is like
that in the wheel-spokes of a large wagon.
5. The
fifth six, divided, shows one who loses his ram (-like strength) in
the ease of his position. (But) there will be no occasion for repentance.
6. The
sixth six, divided, shows (one who may be compared to) the ram butting
against the fence, and unable either to retreat, or to advance as he
would fain do. There will not be advantage in any respect; but if he
realize the difficulty (of his position), there will be good fortune.
