Lignes
Position 1: Power in Toes yin
Power in the toes. Continuing brings misfortune. This is certainly true.
Position 2: Perseverance yin
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Position 3: Power Misused yang
The inferior man works through power. The superior man does not act thus. To continue is dangerous. A goat butts against a hedge and gets its horns entangled.
Position 4: Perseverance Rewarded yang
Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse disappears. The hedge opens; there is no entanglement. Power depends upon the axle of a big cart.
Position 5: Losing Strength yang
Loses the goat with ease. No remorse.
Position 6: Entangled Strength yang
A goat butts against a hedge. It cannot go backward, it cannot go forward. Nothing serves to further. If one notes the difficulty, this brings good fortune.
