18. Loss, Then Gain · 蠱 初六
Line 1 of hexagram 18
In practice
The loss came from being too rigid and wanting to do things the traditional way. If you can be flexible and innovate, you'll succeed.
The poetry
Setting right what the father spoiled. There is a son; the late father is left without fault. Danger; in the end, good fortune.
初六：幹父之蠱，有子考，无咎，厲終吉。
象曰：幹父之蠱，意承考也。
