In hexagram 19 we find a time of deference for the high(top trigram) and a time of easy approach for the low(bottom trigram); not a time for the high to stand one's ground even if appearing 'balanced' .
The 'high' is generous and aids and teaches the low. Hexagram 19 is the specific of hexagram 44. where 44 deals with general seduction and persuation as compared to 19 with its specific intent on approaching the high and getting them to 'empathise'.
Hexagram 19
LÍN
Overseeing
Overseeing. Eminent - expansion. Harvest - determination. Reaching the eighth moon there is a pitfall.
The great image says:
Above marsh there is earth, overseeing
The noble one teaches and ponders inexhaustibly, he tolerates and protects the people without limits

On old pictures one can find the All-seeing Eye. It is the eye of God (or Allah, Manitou, whoever), looking down to the earth. In hexagram 20 it is the goddess, the female aspect of looking down, hearing prayers and sorrow and joy. Here it is Law itself, seeing, caring, and providing what is needed. It is the father of the family, making sure everyone can follow his Tao and find his destiny. His ego is not involved, he is objective and severe and fair, and without limits.
He is like nature, like universal law, caring for all creatures but not being nice to them, creating life but not making it easy. Natural forces, storm and rain, wind and sunshine, they seem all merciless, but they sustain all life on earth.
19. Approach
Approach.
A foundation for progress.
It is beneficial to persist.
Arriving in the eighth month will bring misfortune.
Approaching someone. This will help progress, it is a good idea to persevere. It's not so beneficial if it happens prematurely, though.
(The eighth month refers to premature birth of a baby.)
You got 58.2.3.4.5 > 36? That's a complicated response with a number of twists and turns ... I don't like that 58.3; nasty line. 58.5 means trouble, too.
