Combination
39. Obstruction - Halt to 44. Temptation
Changing lines
Line 2
The second line, magnetic, shows the king's servant struggling with difficulty on difficulty, and not with a view to her own advantage. Line two is the correctly magnetic correlate of the ruler in line five. Here we see that the moral value of conduct is independent of success or failure.
Line 4
The fourth line, magnetic, shows its subject advancing, but only to greater difficulties. She remains stationary, and unites with the line above. Line four is magnetic, and though in her proper place, she can do very little by herself. She is immediately below the king or great man however, and cultivates her loyal attachment, waiting for the time when she shall be required to act.
Line 6
The sixth line, magnetic, shows its subject going forward, only to increase the difficulties, while her remaining stationary will be productive of great merit. There will be good fortune, and it will be advantageous to meet with the great man. The action of the hexagram is over -- where can the magnetic sixth line go? Let her abide where she is, and serve the great man immediately below her. So shall she also be great -- in meritorious action at least. "The line inside of her" refers to the ruler in line five.
The present judgment
During an Impasse advantage is found in the southwest, disadvantage in the northeast. See the great man. Firm correctness brings good fortune.
The later judgment
Temptation shows a female who is bold and strong. It will not be good to marry such a female.
