六五 贞疾，恒不死。
上六 冥豫，成有渝，无咎。

利建侯行师。
This is a good time to appoint capable deputies and set an organized force in motion.
Initial Six: Broadcasting your excitement to everyone around you, this early, invites misfortune.
Six in the second: Standing unmoved like solid rock — it doesn't even take a full day to see the danger and act. Holding firm here brings good fortune.
Six in the third: Enthusiasm spent currying favor with those above brings regret; and dragging your feet about fixing it only deepens that regret.
Nine in the fourth: Right at the center of the momentum, real gains follow. Set doubt aside — allies will fall in line around you the way strands of hair fall neatly into a single clasp.
Six in the fifth: A lingering weakness that won't fully break you, but won't fully clear either.
Six at the top: Enthusiasm carried on past its point, clouding judgment — but even here, a real change of course once the moment has run out still draws no blame.
