Thirteenth Hexagram
Heaven reflects
the Flame of clarity:
The Superior Person
analyzes the various levels
and working parts
of the social structure,
and uses them to advantage.
Success
if you keep to your course.
You may cross to the far shore.

Changing Lines
Line Six
He meets with others
in the meadow.
There all are in the open,
none may remain hidden.
No remorse.
Line Five
He is drawn to another.
He fights the attraction fiercely,
but his later surrender brings joy.
Line Four
He greets them cordially,
but from a high vantage point
with secreted weapons close at hand.
His mistrust will slowly dissipate
and good fortune will return.
Line Three
You hold with unworthy allies.
Line Two
The clan holds tightly,
armed against outsiders.
This inbreeds fear and cruelty,
which can only give birth
to strife and extinction.
Line One
Sincere affection in the open.
Why should anything
so deep and genuine
cause embarrassment or shame?
