夬。扬于王庭,孚号有厉,告自邑,不利即戎,利有攸往。
Lake over Heaven. One last yielding line must be removed. The decisive moment.
The Lines
初九:壮于前趾,往不胜为咎。
Line 1 — Mighty in the forward-striding toes. Ready to charge but not yet strong enough.
九二:惕号,莫夜有戎,勿恤。
Line 2 — A cry of alarm. Stay vigilant. Preparation is sufficient.
九三:壮于頄,有凶。君子夬夬,独行遇雨,若濡有愠,无咎。
Line 3 — Being resolute in the cheekbones brings misfortune. Don't broadcast your plan. Walk alone in the rain.
九四:臀无肤,其行次且。牵羊悔亡,闻言不信。
Line 4 — The skin of his thighs is torn. Wounded but mobile. Follow rather than lead through this phase.
九五:苋陆夬夬,中行无咎。
Line 5 — Firm resolution is necessary. Walking in the middle. The weeds keep coming back. Constant resolution.
上六:无号,终有凶。
Line 6 — No cry. In the end, misfortune. Silence when action was required. The moment passes.
