50. The Vessel of Nourishment · 鼎 九三
Line 3 of hexagram 50
In practice
For now you're in a place where your talents and qualities aren't recognized. There's nothing to worry about: if you stay true to yourself and act with integrity, success will come in the end.
The poetry
The ears of the cauldron are altered; its going is blocked. The pheasant fat is not eaten. When the rain comes, regret wanes. In the end, good fortune.
九三：鼎耳革，其行塞，雉膏不食，方雨虧悔，終吉。
象曰：鼎耳革，失其義也。
