Combination

26. Controlled Power to 39. Obstruction - Halt

Changing lines

Line 1
The first line, dynamic, shows its subject in a position of peril. It will be advantageous for him to stop his advance. Line one is subject to opposition or repression from line four. This calamity will be increased if he tries to advance, so it is better for him to halt.
Line 2
The second line, dynamic, shows a carriage with the strap under it removed. Line two is subject to the repression of the fifth line, so he stops his advance voluntarily -- he has the wisdom to do so because of his central place. The strap below, when attached to the axle, made the carriage stop; he himself acts that part.
Line 5
The fifth line, magnetic, shows the teeth of a castrated hog. There will be good fortune. A boar is a powerful and dangerous animal. Let him be castrated, and though his tusks remain, he cares little to use them. Line five is the ruler of the hexagram whose duty it is to repress the advance of evil. An encounter with the strong second line would be dangerous, but the ruler has taken the early precaution of reducing line two to the condition of a castrated boar. Not only is there no evil, there is good fortune.
Line 6
The sixth line, dynamic, shows its subject as in command of the firmament of heaven. There will be progress. The work of repression is over, and the dynamic subject of line six now has ample scope to carry out the idea of the hexagram in the accumulation of virtue.

The present judgment

Controlled Power means being firm and correct. If its subject doesn't enjoy his family revenues at the expense of public service, there will be good fortune. It will be advantageous to cross the great stream.

The later judgment

During an Impasse advantage is found in the southwest, disadvantage in the northeast. See the great man. Firm correctness brings good fortune.
