Chi Chi / After Completion

The second [six], divided, (shows its subject as) a wife who has lost her (carriage-)screen. There is no occasion to go in pursuit of it. In seven days she will find it.
Line 2 is weak, and in its proper place. It also has the strong correlate 5; and might be expected to be forward to act. But it occupies its correct and central place, and suggests the symbol of a lady whose carriage has lost its screen. She will not advance further so soon after success has been achieved; but keep herself hidden and retired. Let her not try to find the screen. When it is said that she will find this 'after seven days', the meaning seems to be simply this, that the period of Ki Chi will then have been exhausted, the six lines having been gone through, and a new period, when action will be proper, shall have commenced.
