Six in the fourth place is read divinatorially as encouragement to renew an approach that earlier hesitation had interrupted. Where the second line counseled patient waiting toward an uncertain arrival, the fourth line, opening the upper trigram, shows that the moment for waiting has passed and the moment for advancing has arrived: seeking union now, in the traditional reading attached to this line, brings good fortune where retreat once seemed the safer course.
This line's position at the foot of the upper trigram Kan marks it as a first test of whether patience cultivated through the lower trigram can now translate into confident action within the more exposed territory the upper trigram represents. A reading landing here often signals a relationship, partnership, or undertaking that has already passed through an uncertain early stage and is now ready for the querent to pursue it openly rather than continue treating it with the caution appropriate to an earlier phase.
Divinatory tradition reads this line as a corrective against excessive caution carried past its usefulness: the same image of retreating horses that once counseled patience now, at a later stage of the same difficulty, counsels the opposite. A changing line here tells the querent to recognize that circumstances have shifted since the second line's caution applied, and that continuing to hesitate at this point risks losing an advantage that active pursuit would now secure.
