Line statement
上九
姤其角，吝，无咎。
Encountering with the horns. Regret, but no fault.
Encounter reaches the horns at Line 6, the hard upper limit. When the firm top yields, Heaven becomes Lake and the result is Hexagram 28, Lake above Wind under an exceptional load.
Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- outer · boundary
Line 6 is the boundary of the outer trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yang in an even place: not aligned
Its yang polarity does not match the traditional even-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 3: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 3; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
