The Situation

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




The Judgement for the Current Situation

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 Current Situation

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.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 1: Mighty in the forward-striding toes.
When one goes and is not equal to the task,
One makes a mistake.


The Future

28. Ta Kuo - Preponderance of the Great
Above (in front): Tui - The Joyous (Lake)
Below (behind): Sun - The Gentle (Wind)


The Judgement for the Future

Preponderance of the Great.
The ridgepole sags to the breaking point.
It furthers one to have somewhere to go.
Success.


The Image for the Future

The lake rises above the trees:
The image of Preponderance of the Great.
Thus the superior man, when he stands alone,
Is unconcerned,
And if he has to renounce the world,
He is undaunted.
