Neutralize Danger

Great Accumulates. A gelded boar’s tusks and a thorn hedge. Wise Words! The Way is open. By taking precautions now you can disable a powerful opponent. Empty your mind of immediate goals. Go into retreat and use your hidden connections. Step outside the norms and re-imagine the situation. This brings great rewards in the end. Co-operate with the ongoing process of change.

六五, 豶豕之牙, 吉.

The tusk of a gelded boar. Good fortune. ##### Comments Here the restraining of the impetuous forward drive is achieved in an indirect way. A boar's tusk is in itself dangerous, but if the boar's nature is altered, the tusk is no longer a menace. Thus also where men are concerned, wild force should not be combated directly; instead, its roots should be eradicated.
