Hexagram 31 · Line 1
Influence — 初六
Xian · Chu Liu
初六 · Chu Liu
The Line
The influence expresses itself in the big toe.
Interpretation
A movement, before it is actually carried out, expresses itself first in the toes. The thought of influence is already there, but it is not yet apparent to others. As long as the intention has no visible effects, it is indifferent to the outside world; it leads neither to good nor to evil.
