36. Darkness · 明夷 六二

Line 2 of hexagram 36

In practice

Difficulties are growing and circumstances affect you directly, but your firm resolve, acting for a greater good, and contributing as you're able will lead you to victory.

The poetry

The wounded light: wounded in the left thigh. Rescued with a strong horse. Good fortune.

六二:明夷,夷于左股,用拯馬壯,吉。

象曰:六二之吉,順以則也。
