Obstruction — 四九

The Line

Interpretation

Here too a situation is depicted that one is not equal to alone. In such a case the direct path is not the shortest. Were one, by one's own strength, to strive forward without the necessary preparations, one would not find the necessary support and would too late recognize that the calculations deceive, in that the circumstances one hoped to be able to count on prove too weak. Therefore in this case it is right first to hold back and gather reliable companions around oneself on whom one can lean, in order to overcome the obstructions.
