Hexagram Mirrors - Line Reflections
(line pathways)

The mirror grouping of 51.3-52.4-55.3-56.4

51.3 The shock: reviving, reviving. The shock moves, without mistake.

Life needs shocks. Let them move you, but stay on your road.

52.4 Stabilize oneself. Without fault.

Stability should be an inner condition.

55.3 In Feng raincurtains. At midday one sees froth. Breaking one's right arm, no fault.

Do what you have to do, even if everything goes counter.

56.4 The wanderer is in a resting place and obtains money and an axe. My heart is not pleased.

Stability is great but no guarantee for happiness. Life needs challenges.

The theme of this mirror:

(all yang lines of Mirror 51.3 are yin lines in Mirror 57.3 and vv)
