Sixteenth Hexagram
Thunder comes resounding
out of the Earth:
Similar thunder roars up
from the masses
when the Superior Person strikes a chord
in their hearts.
Whip up enthusiasm,
rally your forces,
and move boldly forward.

Changing Lines
Line Six
Compulsive enthusiasm
can be set right
if it learns from its mistakes.
Line Five
Thorough self-diagnosis
of his own affliction
keeps him safely from the brink
of fatal error.
Line Four
His music strikes a chord
and wins hearts.
His trust makes them true,
and brings great success.
Line Three
You wait for a compelling signal,
yet ignore the knock at the gate.
Missed opportunity breeds regret.
Line Two
Firm as a rock,
but only when necessary
and appropriate.
This course
brings good fortune.
Line One
Pride comes before a fall.
