四六 · Si Liu

The Line

Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse vanishes. Shock in order to chastise the devil's land. For three years there are rewards with great realms.

Interpretation

Now is the time of struggle. The transition must be completed. One must make oneself wholly strong in one's resolve; this brings good fortune. All misgivings that may rise in one in such serious times of struggle must be silent. A hot battle is at hand, to shake and chastise the devil's land, the powers of disintegration. But the struggle also has its reward. Now is the time to lay foundations of power and rule for the future.
