Darkening of the Light. In adversity
It furthers one to be persevering.

The light has sunk into the earth:
The image of Darkening of the Light.
Thus does the superior one live with the great mass:
One veils one's light, yet still shines.

Changing Lines

Line 1: Yang Opening

⇢
Darkening of the light during flight.
One lowers one's wings.
The superior one does not eat for three days
On one's wanderings.
But one has somewhere to go.
The host has occasion to gossip about one.

Line 2: Yin Firming

⇢
Darkening of the light injures one in the left thigh.
One gives aid with the strength of a horse.
Good fortune.

Line 3: Yang Opening

⇢
Darkening of the light during the hunt in the south.
Their great leader is captured.
One must not expect perseverance too soon.

Line 4: Yin Firming

⇢
One penetrates the left side of the belly.
One gets at the very heart of the darkening of the light,
And leaves gate and courtyard.

Line 5: Yin Firming

⇢
Darkening of the light as with Prince Chi.
Perseverance furthers.

Line 6: Yin Firming

⇢
Not light but darkness.
First one climbed up to heaven,
Then one plunged into the depths of the earth.
