34. Great Manifestation · 大壯 上六
Line 6 of hexagram 34
In practice
If you push ahead without thinking and without taking in feedback, you reach a point that becomes a wall and blocks your way. Being aware of this before you go too far will let you change course.
The poetry
A ram butts the fence: it can't go back, it can't go on. Nothing is favorable. Taking on the hardship: good fortune.
上六：羝羊觸藩，不能退，不能遂，无攸利，艱則吉。
象曰：不能退，不能遂，不詳也。艱則吉，咎不長也。
