Nothing harmful has touched you yet, and you are at fault for nothing. Remember how hard things can be, stay careful, and you stay clear.

A big cart stands loaded and ready. You can carry much, and you have somewhere to take it. Moving ahead is no fault.
九三:公用亨于天子,小人弗克。
A duke presents his holdings to the Son of Heaven, which a petty person could not do. Treat what you hold as something to serve with.
九四:匪其彭,无咎。
Do not make a show of your fullness. Hold back from display, and there is no fault.
六五:厥孚交如,威如;吉。
Your sincerity connects you with others, and you also carry natural dignity. Trust joined with quiet authority is good.
上九:自天祐之,吉无不利。
Help seems to come from heaven itself, and the signs are good on every side. This tends to visit the honest, who respect what is higher.
