Tâ Kwang indicates that (under the conditions which it supposes) it will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
The first NINE, undivided, shows its subject in his vigour advancing (with his toes). As a consequence, there will be evil, (but) it is his own fault.
The second NINE, undivided, shows that with firm correctness there will be good fortune.
The third NINE, undivided, shows the small man using all his vigour; the superior man, however, exercises his mind (only) after keeping it free from all pre-occupation. In this way (the small man) will be in peril.
The fourth NINE, undivided, shows (a case) where firm correctness leads to good fortune, and occasion for repentance disappears. The fences being opened, there is no crushing, and the vigour is of an axle, firm and correct.
The fifth SIX, divided, shows the losing of the ram (by the ease with which he is handled) in the path of retreat. There will be no occasion for repentance.
The topmost SIX, divided, shows (the subject of the line) with the head of the ram caught fast. (He tries to push on, but) cannot retire, and in this way there will be no advantage. © 2026 I-Ching Divination. All rights reserved.
