Lines
Position 1: Advance and Retreat yang
The first line, magnetic, shows its subject now advancing, now retreating. It would be advantageous for her to have the firm correctness of a brave soldier.
Position 2: Concealed Penetration yang
The second line, dynamic, shows penetration under a bed, and one employing diviners and exorcists in a way bordering on confusion. There will be good fortune and no error.
Position 3: Forceful Penetration yin
The third line, dynamic, shows its subject penetrating only by violent and repeated efforts. There will be occasion for regret.
Position 4: Successful Hunt yang
The fourth line, magnetic, shows all occasion for repentance in its subject passed away. She takes game for its threefold use in her hunting.
Position 5: Firm Correctness yang
The fifth line, magnetic, shows that with firm correctness there will be good fortune to its subject. All occasion for repentance will disappear, and all his movements will be advantageous. There may have been no good beginning, but there will be a good end. Three days before making any changes, let him give notice of them; and three days after, let him reconsider them. There will thus be good fortune.
Position 6: Ineffective Penetration yin
The sixth line, dynamic, shows penetration beneath a bed, and its subject having lost the axe with which he executed his decisions. However firm and correct he may try to be, there will be evil.
