Hexagram 61 中孚, Line 4
中孚
Hexagram 61 · fourth line, divided (six)
月既望，馬匹亡，无咎。
The fourth line, divided, shows its subject (like) the moon nearly full, and (like) a horse (in a chariot) whose fellow disappears. There will be no error.
James Legge (1882), public domain.
Small image (小象)
馬匹亡，絕類上也。
If only this line changes, hexagram 61 becomes hexagram 10.
← Hexagram 61 中孚: judgment and all lines
