Blocked Progress

You see your cart pulled back and your cattle hobbled, the Branded Man with his nose cut off. What you initiate will not be completed. You tried to force your way through and met strong opposition. Nothing will come to fruition now. Stay where you are secure and re-dedicate yourself to what great. This will reverse what feels like an oppressive situation. Concentrate what you have and offer it to your highest ideals. Be resolute and part from the past. You are connected with a creative force.

六三, 見輿曳, 其牛掣, 其人天且劓. 无初有終.

One sees the wagon dragged back, ##### Comments The oxen halted, A man's hair and nose cut off. Not a good beginning, but a good end. Often it seems tot a man as though everything were conspiring against him. He sees himself checked and hindered in his progress, insulted and dishonored. However, he must not let himself be misled; despite this opposition, he must cleave to the man with whom he knows he belongs. Thus, notwithstanding the bad beginning, the matter will end well.
