Ko
(What takes
place as indicated by) Ko is believed in only after it has been accomplished.
There will be great progress and success. Advantage will come from being
firm and correct. (In that case) occasion for repentance will disappear.
1. The
first NINE, undivided, shows its subject (as if he were) bound with
the skin of a yellow ox.
2. The
second six, divided, shows its subject making his changes after some
time has passed. Action taken will be fortunate. There will be no error.
3. The
third NINE, undivided, shows that action taken by its subject will be
evil. Though he be firm and correct, his position is perilous. If the
change (he contemplates) have been three times fully discussed, he will
be believed in.
4. The
fourth NINE, undivided, shows occasion for repentance disappearing (from
its subject). Let him be believed in; and though he change (existing)
ordinances, there will be good fortune.
5. The
fifth NINE, undivided, shows the great man (producing his changes) as
the tiger (does when he) changes (his stripes). Before he divines (and
proceeds to action), faith has been reposed in him.
6. The
sixth six, divided, shows the superior man producing his changes as
the leopard (does when he) changes (his spots), while small men change
their faces (and show their obedience). To go forward (now) would lead
to evil, but there will be good fortune in abiding firm and correct.
