To follow well brings deep success — hold to what is right, and there is nothing to fault.
Initial Nine: One's post or position shifts. Holding firm to the right course brings good fortune. Stepping outside to build wider connections achieves real results.
Six in the second: Attached to the lesser companion, one loses the person of real substance.
Six in the third: Attached to the person of substance, one lets go of the lesser companion. What is sought through following is gained; it is beneficial to hold steady.
Nine in the fourth: Gains come through following, but clinging to this position brings danger. Only by staying true to principle, with clear judgment, can one avoid blame.
Nine in the fifth: Genuine trust placed in what is truly good brings good fortune.
Six at the top: Held fast and bound close, one is tied ever more firmly to the cause — as when the king offered sacrifice at the western mountain.
