Difficulty at the Beginning, Gathering Support, Hoarding
Initial growth is beset with chaotic difficulties. Hold back from premature moves, maintain inspiration, and appoint right helpers rather than remaining isolated.
Clouds and thunder imply order is already implicit in chaos. The superior man organizes and separates the inchoate tangle like sorting silk threads.
Changing Lines๐
Line 1๐
Hesitation and hindrance. Pause, take thought, keep the goal in sight, and associate with allies in a spirit of humility.
Line 2๐
Difficulties pile up. Do not accept unexpected relief from sources unrelated to you; wait out the cycle until normal conditions return.
Line 3๐
Hunting without a forester leads to losing your way. Discern the seeds of events and prefer to desist rather than force fulfillment.
Line 4๐
Strive for union. Seize opportunities to connect; accepting help from a right assistant in a difficult pass is a sign of clarity.
Line 5 โ ๐
Ruling line. Difficulties in blessing. Good intentions are distorted; proceed step by step with quiet, conscientious work to clear the blockages.
Line 6๐
Bloody tears flow. Getting completely stuck and resigning from the struggle is the saddest condition; do not persist in it.
