54. Improper Advances to 24. The Turning Point

Changing lines

1. Line 2

   The second line, dynamic, shows her blind of one eye, and yet able to see. There will be advantage in her maintaining the firm correctness of a solitary widow. Line two is dynamic in a magnetic place, and her correlate is magnetic in a dynamic place. Both, however, are central in their respective trigrams. With a weak correlate, line two can't do much in the discharge of her duties, but if she thinks only of her husband, like the widow who will die rather than marry again, such devotion will have its effect and reward. Though blind in one eye, she still manages to see -- devoted loyalty in an officer will compensate for many disadvantages.

2. Line 4

   The fourth line, dynamic, shows the young woman who is to be married off protracting the time. She may be late in being married, but the time will come. Line four is dynamic, where it should be magnetic, but in the case of a female the indication is not bad. The subject of the line, however, is in no haste. She waits, and the good time will come. It is she who puts off the marriage, not the other way around.

The present judgment

Propriety indicates that action will be evil, and in no wise advantageous.

The later judgment

Progress and freedom of action are found in Return. Goings and comings are unimpeded, and friends approach without error. Return to repeat the proper course. Seven days returns the cycle to its beginning. There is advantage in choosing one's path.

What the move asks

Maintain inner integrity and patience while navigating external impropriety, allowing natural cycles to restore balance.
