9 Smallness Tames

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.

The changing lines

The third line:
Carriage spokes halted.
Husband and wife quarrel.
The fourth line:
Have confidence. Bloodletting is past,
alarm has gone. No fault.
The fifth line:
Have confidence. Entwine
with your neighbor for wealth.
The sixth line:
Rain is done, all is in place. Respect and virtue
are full. Yet a woman's chastity is imperiled.
When the moon is nearly full,
the prince attacks: misfortune.

The noble one pursues
far-reaching goals
while keeping aware
of possible ruin.
