JUDGEMENT
K'un (represents) what is great and originating, penetrating, advantageous, correct, and having firmness of a mare. When the superior man (here intended) has to make any movements, if he take the initiative, he will go astray; if he follow, he will find his (proper) lord. The advantageousness will be seen in his getting friends in the south-west, and losing friends in the north-east. If he rest in correctness and firmness, there will be good fortune.
