六二 或益之十朋之龟，弗克违，永贞吉。王用享于帝，吉。
六三 益之用凶事，无咎。有孚中行，告公用圭。
六四 中行，告公从，利用为依迁国。
九五 有孚惠心，勿问，元吉。有孚惠我德。
上九 莫益之，或击之。立心勿恒，凶。
利有攸往，利涉大川。
This is a favorable moment to move forward, and to cross the great river.
Initial Nine: The moment favors bold undertakings -- attempt the great work now, and fortune will be complete.
Six in the second: Unlooked-for abundance comes to him -- a gift so large that no one could turn it back -- and if he holds to this steadily, good fortune lasts. It is fit even for a king's offering to Heaven.
Six in the third: Even a crisis can leave you better off, and no fault attaches -- provided your sincerity holds and you stay centered, reporting upward through the proper channel.
Six in the fourth: Stay centered and bring your case to those above; they will act on it. This is the moment to be entrusted with the largest undertakings -- even relocating the seat of power.
Nine in the fifth: A genuinely generous heart needs no confirmation -- its fortune is already complete, and others will feel that generosity as the very shape of your character.
Nine at the top: Give nothing to anyone, and eventually someone will turn on you. A heart that won't hold steady invites its own misfortune.
