Behind you lies "Fire" which transforms into "Heaven". That means that brightness and warmth are being transformed into strength and creativity.


The Situation

22. Pi - Grace
Above (in front): Kên - Keeping Still (Mountain)
Below (behind): Li - The Clinging (Fire)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Grace has success.
In small matters
It is favorable to undertake something.


The Image for the Current Situation

Fire at the foot of the mountain:
The image of Grace.
Thus does the superior man proceed
When clearing up current affairs.
But he dare not decide controversial issues in this way.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 2: Lends grace to the beard on his chin.

Line 4: Grace or simplicity?
A white horse comes as if on wings.
He is not a robber,
He will woo at the right time.

Line 5: Grace in the hills and gardens.
The roll of silk is meager and small.
Humiliation, but in the end good fortune.

Line 6: Simple grace. No blame.


The Future

43. Kuai - Break-through (Resoluteness)
Above (in front): Tui - The Joyous (Lake)
Below (behind): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)


The Judgement for the Future

Break-through. One must resolutely make the matter known
At the court of the king.
It must be announced truthfully. Danger.
It is necessary to notify one's own city.
It does not further to resort to arms.
It furthers one to undertake something.


The Image for the Future

The lake has risen up to heaven:
The image of Break-through.
Thus the superior man
Dispenses riches downward
And refrains from resting on his virtue.
