Certain phrases give me trouble

[seeker]

One of the problems I have in disciphering the I Ching readings is certain phrases that appear, even in the translations. For instance, I do not what it means to be firm and correct, nor do I understand what is meant by crossing the stream, river, etc or friends from the north, south, whatever. Are there any standard interpretation of these phrases that would help clarify things???

Just a few weeks ago I asked a similar question about the directions that are referred to in Yi, here is a link to the ensuing discussion:
