Line 1 of hexagram 34
In practice
Despite your excellent qualities, some unfavorable situations still won't let you move forward. Don't push. Work through the obstacles one by one, and circumstances will give way in the end.
The poetry
Strength in the toes. Setting out brings misfortune. There is sincere trust.
初九:壯于趾,征凶,有孚。
象曰:壯于趾,其孚窮也。
