Combination

37. The Family to 63. Completion

Changing lines

Line 6
The sixth line, dynamic, shows its subject possessed of sincerity and arrayed in majesty. In the end there will be good fortune. Line six is also dynamic, and being in a magnetic place, he might degenerate into stern severity. But he is sincere and complete in himself. His majesty is not artificial: his character is remolded and perfected, hence his action will only lead to good fortune. The words of Mencius are aptly quoted in illustration of the lesson: "If a man himself does not walk in the right path, it will not be walked in even by his wife and children."

The present judgment

For the regulation of The Family, what is most advantageous is that the wife be firm and correct.

The later judgment

Completion intimates progress and success in small matters. There is advantage in firm correctness. There had been good fortune in the beginning; there may be disorder in the end.

What the move asks

Cultivate inner integrity and clear roles to harmonize relationships, ensuring that diligent effort leads to balanced resolution.

What people asked about
