29. Water · 坎 上六
Line 6 of hexagram 29
In practice
Trying to escape the obstacles, you get more tangled if you keep doing things the wrong way and side with the wrong people.
The poetry
Bound with braided cords, set among thorn thickets; three years and no way out. Misfortune.
上六：係用徽纆，寘于叢棘，三歲不得，凶。
象曰：上六失道，凶三歲也。
