54. A Subordinate Role · 歸妹 六五
Line 5 of hexagram 54
In practice
Calmly accepting a subordinate position right now will bring you success. Your talent will show in spite of a situation that seems unfavorable.
The poetry
Emperor Yi gives his younger sister in marriage. The lady's sleeves were not as fine as the second wife's. The moon is nearly full. Good fortune.
六五：帝乙歸妹，其君之袂，不如其娣之袂良，月幾望，吉。
象曰：帝乙歸妹，不如其娣之袂良也。其位在中，以貴行也。
