The first SIX, divided, shows its subject (like a man who is only seeking to save his own) business, and needs to be supported (by others). There will be no error.

The third SIX, divided, shows its subject dispensing with his own (private) business. There will be no occasion for repentance.
The fourth SIX, divided, shows (its subject) scattering the (different) parties (in the state). There will be great good fortune. This is the scattering (of the bad elements), and the uniting (of the good).
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows its subject amidst the scattering (and distress), issuing his grand mandates (for the re-union). The result will be happiness and praise (from all quarters).
The topmost NINE, undivided, shows its subject's high aim (in the work of dispersion) melting away (all selfish considerations). There will be no error. © 2026 I-Ching Divination. All rights reserved.
