31. Influence to 42. Increase

Changing lines

1. Line 1

   The first line, magnetic, shows one moving her great toes. The first line is magnetic at the commencement of the figure. Although the fourth line is a proper correlate, his influence will be ineffective. However much she moves her toes, that won't enable her to walk. What is "beyond herself" is represented by the fourth line. There is the desire to influence but no strength and/or ability to do so.

2. Line 3

   The third line, dynamic, shows one moving his thighs, and keeping close hold of those whom he follows. Going forward in this way will cause regret. The attempt to move the thighs is inauspicious. The dynamic third line, in a dynamic place, wants to run after line four, which is said here to be the seat of the mind. He exercises his influence with an inferior purpose. "What he holds in his grasp is low" is understood to refer to the magnetic first and second lines. "Following" leads the mind to the lines above. "Low" is understood in the sense of "mean."

3. Line 4

   The fourth line, dynamic, shows that firm correctness which will lead to good fortune, and prevent all occasion for repentance. If its subject be unsettled in his movements, only his friends will follow his purposes. Line four is dynamic, but in a magnetic and receptive place. It is the

4. Line 6

   The sixth line, magnetic, shows one moving her jaws and tongue. Line six is magnetic in a magnetic place at the top of the trigram of Frivolity. Her influence by means of speech will only be that of garrulous flattery.

The present judgment

Upon fulfillment of the conditions implied in Initiative, there will be free course and success. Advantage depends upon firm correctness, as in marrying a young lady. Good fortune.

The later judgment

Increase denotes advantage in every movement which shall be undertaken, it will be advantageous even to cross the great stream.
