HEXAGRAM 39: STUMBLING

One direction is good, another is bad. Consulting someone who really knows will bring a good result.

The Lines (base to top)

Stumbling forth and strutting back
Porters stumbling under loads
Stumbling and turning about
Turning back to join with friends
Friends appear for welcoming
Stumbling forth and riding back

Commentary

Water over mountain. Hard to get a foothold.

Choose the easier path.
