44. Lack of Firmness · 姤 初六

Line 1 of hexagram 44

In practice

When something or someone you'd be better off without comes into your life, put distance between you quickly, before it gains power.

The poetry

Tied to a metal brake. Constancy brings good fortune. If it has somewhere to go, it will meet misfortune. A lean pig, surely, paws and paces.

初六:繫于金柅,貞吉,有攸往,見凶,羸豕,孚,蹢躅。

象曰:系于金柅,柔道牽也。
