Hexagram 57 · 巽 xùn

Penetration · line 5

九五:貞吉,悔亡,无不利,无初有終,先庚三日,後庚三日,吉。

The fifth line, undivided, shows that with firm correctness there will be good fortune (to its subject). All occasion for repentance will disappear, and all his movements will be advantageous. There may have been no (good) beginning, but there will be a (good) end. Three days before making any changes, (let him give notice of them); and three days after, (let him reconsider them). There will (thus) be good fortune.

James Legge, 1882

Hexagram 57 Penetration · Judgement

巽:小亨,利有攸往,利見大人。

Sun intimates that (under the conditions which it denotes) there will be some little attainment and progress. There will be advantage in movement onward in whatever direction. It will be advantageous (also) to see the great man.

James Legge, 1882
