Hexagram 10 履, Line 6
履
Hexagram 10 · sixth line, undivided (nine)
視履考詳，其旋元吉。
The sixth line, undivided, tells us to look at (the whole course) that is trodden, and examine the presage which that gives. If it be complete and without failure, there will be great good fortune.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
元吉在上，大有慶也。
