(Lî suggests the idea of) one treading on the tail of a tiger, which does not bite him. There will be progress and success.
Explanation of the separate lines by the duke of Kâu.
Six in the third place means:
The third SIX, divided, shows a one-eyed man (who thinks he) can see; a lame man (who thinks he) can walk well; one who treads on the tail of a tiger and is bitten. (All this indicates) ill fortune. We have a (mere) bravo acting the part of a great ruler.
Nine in the fifth place means:
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows the resolute tread of its subject. Though he be firm and correct, there will be peril.
Nine at the top means:
The sixth NINE, undivided, tells us to look at (the whole course) that is trodden, and examine the presage which that gives. If it be complete and without failure, there will be great good fortune.
The future is: ䷉ - 大壯 (Tâ Kwang) / The Power of the Great
Tâ Kwang indicates that (under the conditions which it symbolises) it will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
