In practice
The judgment
When you're whole within, it shows on the outside, and you'll be able to do great things and to let your truth move others toward great undertakings.
The poetry
Inner Trust
Piglets and fish: good fortune. It is favorable to cross the great river. Constancy is favorable.
The image
Wind above the lake: inner trust. So the noble person deliberates on lawsuits and puts off death sentences.
The lines
- Line 6上九
If your inner strength rests only on words, you won't have the power to rally people that you need to reach your goals.
A bird's cry climbs to heaven. Even with constancy, misfortune.
- Line 5九五
You have an inner strength that lets you draw others toward a shared well-being and shared goals.
There is sincere trust, holding fast like links in a chain. No fault.
- Line 4六四
It's a time to lean on spiritual forces to strengthen your inner integrity and head confidently toward your goal, without looking back.
The moon is nearly full. One horse of the pair is lost. No fault.
- Line 3六三
If your security rests on other people's approval and acceptance, you'll ride emotional ups and downs and won't fully enjoy what you gain.
Meets an adversary: now drumming, now stopping, now weeping, now singing.
- Line 2九二
Your inner integrity will draw kindred people who are willing to be generous with you.
A crane cries in the shade; its chick answers. I have a fine cup: you and I will drain it together.
- Line 1初九
If behind what you do there's a wish to manipulate others, your intentions will be exposed.
Being ready: good fortune. If there is something else, no ease.
