Combination

31. Influence to 51. Shock

Changing lines

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.
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."
Line 5
The fifth line, dynamic, shows one moving the flesh along the spine above the heart. There will be no occasion for repentance. The symbolism of line five refers to a part of the body behind the heart, and is supposed to indicate an ineffective influence. The triviality of the aim explains the ineffectiveness of the movement, but since it is free from selfish motivations it is nothing to be repented of.

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

Shock intimates ease and development. When the time of movement which it indicates comes, the subject of the hexagram will be found looking out with apprehension, and yet smiling and talking cheerfully. When the movement like a crash of thunder terrifies all within a hundred miles, he will be like the sincere worshipper who is not startled into dropping his ladle and cup of sacrificial spirits.

What the move asks

Open your mind to receptive influence, allowing sudden insights to awaken you from complacency.
