       Hsien / Attraction

The joyous Lake is cradled
by the tranquil Mountain:
The Superior Person
takes great satisfaction
in encouraging others
along their journey.
He draws them to him
with his welcoming nature
and genuine interest.

Supreme success.
This course leads to marriage.




Hexagram Thirty-One/Line One:
He skillfully hides his excitement,
but is betrayed by the twitching 
of his big toe.


Hexagram Thirty-One/Line Two:
Nervously shaking his leg
shows his irresistible urge to advance.
Misfortune if he does.
Good fortune if he doesn't.


Hexagram Thirty-One/Line Three:
Restless thighs signify
impatience and a lack of restraint.
He has lost his center
and is obsessed with another.
Humiliation.


Hexagram Thirty-One/Line Four:
Trembling all over.
Only those who truly know him
would understand.
Favorable if he stays on course.


Hexagram Thirty-One/Line Five:
Chills down the spine
but no startled movements.
No regrets.


Hexagram Thirty-One/Line Six:
A wagging tongue and working jaws.
All sound and fury
signifying nothing.
