About acting strong and decisive

19.4 yin: To the highest degree nearing. Without fault.

If you decide to near, then near without any distance.

54.4 yang: The marrying maiden exceeds the allotted time. A late marriage at the right time.

Doing the right thing at the right time.

Lines 19.4 and 54.4 are each others fanyao, like views on the same landscape but from a different side, Earth-Thunder and vv. Asking for different (complementary) actions.

20.3 yin: Contemplating my own life. Advancing, withdrawing.

Your heart and your surroundings tell you moment by moment what you can or should do.

53.3 yang: The wild geese gradually approach the highlands. The husband goes out and does not return. The woman gets pregnant but does not raise the child. Pitfall. Fruitful to defend against robbers.

Don't try forward movement when natural development is hindered. Ward off wrong actions.

Lines 20.3 and 53.3 are each others fanyao, like views on the same landscape but from a different side, Earth-Mountain and vv. Asking for different (complementary) actions.

Lines 19.4 and 20.3 and also 53.3 and 54.4 are each others qianyao (upside-down). Here are similar actions but in different landscapes (complementary contexts).
What was up, outside or mental, is now down, inside or physical.
