Sh^eng / Pushing Upward

above:K'un The Receptive, Earth
below:Sun The Gentle, Wind

The first [six], divided, shows its subject advancing upwards with the welcome (of those above him). There will be great good fortune.

Line 1 is weak, where it should be strong; its subject, that is, is humble and docile. Those above him, therefore, welcome his advance. Another interpretation of the line is suggested by Appendix I; which deserves consideration. As the first line of Sun, moreover, it may be supposed to concentrate in itself its attribute of docility, and be the lord of the trigram.
