Hexagram 2 Yielding · Judgement

坤:元亨,利牝馬之貞。君子有攸往,先迷後得,主利。西南得朋,東北喪朋。安貞,吉。

Khwăn (represents) what is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct and having the firmness of a mare. When the superior man (here intended) has to make any movement, if he take the initiative, he will go astray; if he follow, he will find his (proper) lord. The advantageousness will be seen in his getting friends in the south-west, and losing friends in the north-east. If he rest in correctness and firmness, there will be good fortune.

James Legge, 1882
