Combination

2. The Magnetic to 52. Keeping Still

Changing lines

Line 3
The third line, magnetic, shows its subject keeping her excellence under restraint, but firmly maintaining it. If she should have occasion to engage in the king's service, though she will not claim the success for herself, she will bring affairs to a good issue. To keep her excellence under restraint is the part of an officer seeking not her own glory, but that of the ruler.
Line 6
The sixth line, magnetic, shows dragons fighting in the wild. Their blood is purple and yellow. What is said about the sixth line in hexagram number one, The Dynamic, was that the dragon there exceeded the proper limits. That idea here takes place in "the wild" as the magnetic line is transformed into a dragon who fights with the true dragon of the Creative Force. They fight and bleed, and their respective blood is the color of Heaven and Earth.

The present judgment

The Magnetic means success through the docility of a mare. If the superior man takes the initiative, he goes astray, but if he follows, he finds his proper lord. It is advantageous to find one's friends in the southwest, and to lose them in the northeast. Through a passively firm correctness, there will be good fortune.

The later judgment

When his repose is like the back, and he loses all consciousness of self; when he walks in his courtyard and does not see the people, there will be no error.
