Line statement
六五
拂經，居貞吉，不可涉大川。
Departing from the regular course. Staying constant is favorable. Do not cross the great river.
Line 5 occupies the broken center of Mountain and depends on an irregular source of support. Its change makes that center firm, turns Mountain into Wind, and produces Hexagram 42 above the same inner Thunder.
Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- outer · center
Line 5 is the center of the outer trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yin in an odd place: not aligned
Its yin polarity does not match the traditional odd-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 2: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 2; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
