Ta Chuang / The Power of the Great

above: Ch^ en The Arousing, Thunder
below: Ch'ien The Creative, Heaven

The fifth [six], divided, shows one who loses his ram(-like strength) in the ease of his position. (But) there will be no occasion for repentance.

Line 5 is weak, and occupies a central place. Its subject will cease therefore to exert his strength; but this hexagram does not forbid the employment of strength, but would only control and direct it. All that is said about him is that he will give no occasion for repentance.
