Combination
33. Retreat to 28. Critical Mass
Changing lines
Line 2
The second line, magnetic, shows its subject holding her purpose as if by a thong made from the hide of a yellow ox, which cannot be broken. "Her purpose" in line two is the purpose to withdraw. The magnetic two responds correctly to the dynamic fifth line, and both are central. The purpose therefore is symbolized as in the text. The yellow color of the ox is introduced because of its being correct, and of a piece with the central place of the line.
Line 6
The sixth line, dynamic, shows its subject retiring in a noble way. It will be advantageous in every respect. Line six is dynamic, with no correlate in line three to detain him. He vigorously and happily carries out the idea of the hexagram.
