Combination

33. Retreat to 39. Obstruction - Halt

Changing lines

  1. Line 4

    The fourth line, dynamic, shows its subject retiring notwithstanding his likings. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune. An inferior man cannot attain to this. Line four has a proper correlate in the magnetic first line, but as four is the first line in the upper trigram of Strength, he is free to exercise his choice.

  2. 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.

The present judgment

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.
