Hexagram 16 · line 3
Enthusiasm
豫Yù
Looking upward for pleasure brings regret. Delay also brings regret.
Line statement
六三
盱豫悔，遲有悔。
Looking upward for pleasure brings regret. Delay also brings regret.
Line 3 looks up to the sole firm line for satisfaction instead of standing securely in its own position. Regret calls for a change in that dependence. Changing Line 3 to firm turns lower earth to mountain and produces Hexagram 62.
Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- inner · boundary
Line 3 is the boundary of the inner trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yin in an odd place: not aligned
Its yin polarity does not match the traditional odd-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 6: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 6; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
