60. Thrift · 節 上六
Line 6 of hexagram 60
In practice
There are times when restrictions that seem extreme are called for. This is an exceptional time and it needs that kind of behavior, but don't keep it up too long.
The poetry
Bitter measure. Even with constancy, misfortune. Regret vanishes.
上六：苦節，貞凶，悔亡。
象曰：苦節貞凶，其道窮也。
