Rising upward brings great success. Seek out a person of real stature, set aside your worries, and heading south brings good fortune.
Initial Six: Rise while others trust you fully in it, and the fortune is considerable.
Nine in the second: Genuine sincerity is what counts -- even the simplest offering will do. No fault in that.
Nine in the third: The way up runs straight through a deserted town -- no resistance at all.
Six in the fourth: The king grants him standing at Mount Qi itself -- good fortune, and no fault in accepting it.
Six in the fifth: Stay steady and fortune follows -- climb it one stair at a time.
Six at the top: Rising further while blind to your surroundings -- the only safeguard now is relentless, unbroken discipline.
