Mirror group 59.1-61.1-60.6-61.6

About finding the balance in a situation

59.1 yin: Benefit of the force of a gelding. Auspicious.

Make (the right) use of nature's powers

61.1 yang: The white tiger: auspicious. When there is a snake, there are no swallows.

Make use of nature's signs

Lines 59.1 and 61.1 are each others fanyao, like views on the same landscape but from a different side, Water-Lake and vv. Asking for different actions.

Severe restraint does not align with nature/spirits/gods

No restraint causes regret

Lines 60.6 and 61.6 are each others fanyao, like views on the same landscape but from a different side, Water-Wind and vv. Asking for different actions.
