Line 1 'Pulling up thatch grass, roots entangled, with more of its kind. Constancy, good fortune.
Creating success.'
Line 6 'Overturning the block.Before, blocked.
Afterwards, rejoicing.'
It looks to me that the 'primitive' here, the chasm of emotions, blocked from previous channels of expression, in a situation of being blocked, or held here, is good, necessary for change. The temptation, the compelling magnetic power moving up through 44 is necessary for positive change and greater self awareness?COMMENTARYConfucius/Legge: How could it be prolonged? Wilhelm/Baynes: When standstill comes to an end, it reverses. One should not wish to make it permanent. Blofeld: In the end it must be overcome. How could it endure forever? [The process of change is continuous. This is the last line, which is held to have emerged from the evil symbolized by the hexagram as a whole.]Ritsema/Karcher:Wherefore permitting long-living indeed? Cleary (2): What can last? Wu: How could it last?
Legge: There is an end to the condition of distress. It was necessary that that condition should give place to its opposite; and the dynamic line in the topmost place fitly represents the consequent joy....When one has learned to live with the manifestations of the "not-I" in an attitude of concrete acceptance, bearing one's seemingly inferior personal characteristics as a burden rather than identifying with them and at the same time humbly remaining open to the demands of hitherto unrealized transpersonal powers, a new phase of psychological transformation is initiated. The instinctual drives themselves may change character and consequently the needs for suppressive discipline or sublimation can be lessened. Much of what formerly seemed evil, or at least compulsively disturbing, reveals itself as merely primitive and therefore capable of constructive growth. The instinctual drives thus transformed and matured cease to be sources of moral danger, temptation or sin; instead they become the originators of new creative impulses and possibilities of expression which eventually widen the scope of the personality and with it the whole life.
E.C. Whitmont -- The Symbolic Quest
A. The situation is about to improve. Once the lessons of an impasse are integrated, one moves on to other things.
Line 1 Breaking the wagon wheels the tail gets wet = no blame.
Changes to (39) Obstruction. During any transition from completion to renewal the way forward can appear confusing.
Change is often accompanied by mistakes or missteps. You can think that you are on cruise control and suddenly get a flat tire that stops you in your tracks. There is not any real harm, but you are warned that the path you were on is changing. Any obstacles you meet are simply slowing you down so that you can examine the proper way forward.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASESWing: You are suddenly exposed, whether by your own hand or by circumstances beyond your control. Do nothing. Don't try to cover up, or attempt to make a case for your position. This time of conspicuousness will soon pass.
Editor: The image of the hexagram suggests a high water mark -- the point at which a cycle is completed. Beyond this point is the beginning of a whole new cycle. The second line is the ruler of the hexagram -- a magnetic, receptive, yin line who remains fully devoted to the dynamic yang line, her husband, in the fifth place. A magnetic force is vulnerable during a period of completion -- it must remain in place until the synthesis is complete and the next cycle begins.When a patient begins to feel the inescapable nature of his inner development, he may easily be overcome by a panic fear that he is slipping helplessly into some kind of madness he can no longer understand. More than once I have had to reach for a book on my shelves, bring down an old alchemist, and show my patient his terrifying fantasy in the form in which it appeared four hundred years ago. This has a calming effect, because the patient then sees that he is not alone in a strange world which nobody understands, but is part of the great stream of human history, which has experienced countless times the very things that he regards as a pathological proof of his craziness.
Jung -- Alchemical Studies
A. An image of temporary vulnerability: take no action until the situation matures.

Throwing this out there, how do ye see moving out of a difficult connection like this in the light of Hexagram 62,Already Complete, the chaos of transition into something new, (but watch that kettle on the fire!)
These are so many results. What was your very first result when you asked about him and what did you ask excactly? Hexagram plus changing lines, if there were some, please.
No, not my signature,I think this is your signature ?
I Can't figure out how to change the thread title, sorryYes sorry, It is 63
