54. A Subordinate Role · 歸妹 初九
Line 1 of hexagram 54
In practice
If you know how to hold your subordinate place and stay in the background, helping from there however you can without seeking the spotlight, things will go well.
The poetry
The young woman marries as a second wife. The lame can walk. Setting out brings good fortune.
初九：歸妹以娣，跛能履，征吉。
象曰：歸妹以娣，以恆也。跛能履吉，相承也。
