As a divinatory line, six at the first place of Coming to Meet reads within the hexagram's overall concern with a bold, strong female met unexpectedly; not good to marry such a one, since she should not be long associated with. The line occupies a place that does not match its own nature in the classical doctrine that odd places favour a firm, yang line and even places favour a yielding, yin line. Its own text, that tied and fastened to a metal drag, firm correctness brings good fortune, but if it moves at all evil appears, like a lean pig sure to keep jumping about, is the particular fortune assigned to this one stage of the situation, not to the hexagram as a whole.
The first line corresponds by classical convention with the fourth line, and the two correspond here, since one line is yin and the other yang. Read together with the trigram it belongs to, Xun in the lower position of the figure, the line marks the opening of the situation, before the trigram above it has any part in the reading, one stage in the six stage movement the hexagram traces from its first line to its last.
A change at this line, from yin to its opposite, is the mechanism the tradition uses to move from one hexagram to another. Flipping the first line of Coming to Meet turns Xun into Qian while the other trigram, Qian, stays as it is, which yields Coming to Meet's changing partner, The Creative (King Wen 1), the hexagram this line is recorded as transforming into.
