Line 1:
The first line, dynamic, shows its subject manifesting his strength in his toes. But advance will lead to evil -- most certainly.
Line 2:
The second line, dynamic, shows that with firm correctness there will be good fortune.
Line 3:
The third line, dynamic, shows, in the case of an inferior man, one using all his strength; and in the case of a superior man, one whose rule is not to do so. Even with firm correctness the position would be perilous. The exercise of strength in it might be compared to the case of a ram butting against a fence, and getting his horns entangled.
Line 4:
The fourth line, dynamic, shows a case in which firm correctness leads to good fortune, and occasion for repentance disappears. We see the fence opened without the horns being entangled. The strength is like the wheel spokes of a large wagon.
Line 5:
The fifth line, magnetic, shows one who loses her ram-like strength in the ease of her position. There will be no occasion for repentance.
Line 6:
The sixth line, magnetic, shows one who may be compared to the ram butting against the fence, and unable either to retreat, or to advance as he would fain do. There will be no advantage in any respect, but if he realizes the difficulty of his position, there will be good fortune.
