Combination
16. Enthusiasm, Self-deception to 10. Cautious Advance
Changing lines
Line 1
The first line, magnetic, shows its subject proclaiming her pleasure and satisfaction. There will be evil. Line one is magnetic, with a dynamic correlate in the fourth place. She may well enjoy the happiness of the time, but unable to contain herself, she erupts in boastful enthusiasm and calls undue attention to herself. Enthusiasm has thus been her undoing.
Line 2
The second line, magnetic, shows one who is firm as a rock. She sees a thing without waiting till it has come to pass; with her firm correctness there will be good fortune. The magnetic second line is in her correct central position in the lower trigram. Quietly and firmly she is able to abide in her place and exercise a far-seeing discrimination. All is indicative of good fortune.
Line 5
The fifth line, magnetic, shows one with a chronic complaint, but who lives on without dying. Line five is magnetic in the place of a dynamic ruler, and in danger of being carried away by the lust of enthusiasm. Her proximity to the powerful influence below is a source of danger. Hence she is represented as suffering from a chronic complaint.
Line 6
The sixth line, magnetic, shows its subject with darkened mind devoted to the pleasure and satisfaction of the time. But if she changes her course even when it may be considered as completed, there will be no error. The magnetic sixth line at the end of the hexagram is all but lost.
