Judgment
Legge: Approach means successful progress through firm correctness. In the eighth month there will be evil.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Approach has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. When the eighth month comes, there will be misfortune.
Blofeld:Approach.Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward. However, when the eighth month is reached, misfortune will befall. [The eighth moon of the lunar calendar corresponds approximately to September.]
Liu: Approach. Great Success. It is of benefit to continue. When the eighth month arrives, then there will be misfortune.
Ritsema/Karcher: Nearing, Spring Growing Harvesting Trial. Culminating tending-towards the eighth moon: possessing a pitfall. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of approaching and being approached. It emphasizes that acting without immediately expecting to attain what you desire is the adequate way to handle it...]
Shaughnessy: The Forest: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine; arriving at the eighth month there is inauspiciousness.
Cleary (1):Overseeing is creative and developmental, beneficial if correct. In the eighth month there is misfortune.
Cleary (2):Overseeing is very successful, beneficial if correct. If you go on until the eighth month, there will be misfortune. [If you ride on the momentum of the time and do not know to turn back, at a certain point deterioration will inevitably set in, after flourishing has reached its climax, and there will surely be misfortune.]
Wu:Condescension is great, pervasive, and persevering, etc. [Condescension as used in several judgments has two meanings: to condescend (or to look down from a higher position) and to press forward with authority.]
Hua-Ching Ni: Advance. It is beneficial to go forward with a positive attitude, but be mindful of the cyclical nature of things.
The Image
Legge: The earth over a marsh -- the image of Approach. The superior man is inexhaustible in his instruction and unflagging in his nourishing support of the people.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The earth above the lake: the image of Approach. Thus the superior man is inexhaustible in his will to teach, and without limits in his tolerance and protection of the people.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes land rising above a marsh. The Superior Man's teaching and his affection for his juniors are inexhaustible. Nothing hinders him in his care for the people. [The lower component trigram suggests the nourishment which the Superior Man gives joyfully to others. The upper trigram symbolizes the great bulk of those who benefit.]
Liu: The earth above the lake symbolizes Approach. The superior man's will for instruction has no limit. He is boundless in his support and protection of the people.
Ritsema/Karcher: Above marsh possessing earth. Nearing. A chun tzu uses teaching to ponder without exhausting. [A chun tzu uses] tolerating to protect the commoners without delimiting.
Cleary (1): Above the lake there is earth, overseeing. Superior people use
inexhaustibility of education and thought to embrace and protect the people without bound.
Wu: There is ground above the marsh; this is Condescension. Thus the jun zi realizes that there is no limit to the ideas of education and there is no boundary in the protection of people.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: In Approach we see the dynamic lines gradually increasing and advancing. The lower trigram is the symbol of Being Pleased, and the upper of Being Compliant. The strong line is in the central position, and is properly responded to. It is the way of heaven to bring progress and success through firm correctness, however the advancing power will decay after no long time.
Legge: Approach suggests the approach of authority -- to inspect, to comfort or to rule. The figure shows two dynamic lines advancing on the four magnetic lines above them. Their action will be powerful and successful, but it must be governed by rectitude and a caution that understands the nature of continuous change.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Two steps forward are followed by one step backward.
The Superior Man remains true to the Work regardless of fluctuations within the psyche.
The meaning of Approach is derived from the two dynamic lines advancing from below to encounter the magnetic lines above. These two are firm allies, and the action of the superior man in the Image suggests that their ascent is one of benevolent regard for the welfare of their subordinates -- only the third line need change for the hexagram to become number eleven, Harmony. We are reminded of the proper relationship between the ego and the Self -- when they advance together, the magnetic forces in the rest of the psyche are eventually transformed.
This hexagram recognizes the inevitably slow progress of the Work (" Rome wasn't built in a day"), and that advances are always followed by retreats. The point is that if one maintains the will to advance, one can be confident that the Work is advancing, regardless of appearances.
(Confucius) tried his best, but the issue he left to Ming. Ming is often translated as Fate, Destiny or Decree. To Confucius, it meant the Decree of Heaven or Will of Heaven ... Thus to know Ming means to acknowledge the inevitability of the world as it exists, and so to disregard one's external success or failure. If we can act in this way, we can, in a sense, never fail. For if we do our duty that duty through our very act is morally done, regardless of the external success or failure of our action. Fung Yu-Lan -- A Short History of Chinese Philosophy
Without changing lines, the hexagram suggests a progressive advance in the matter at hand. Nature being what it is however, no advance can be sustained indefinitely and an eventual regression can be expected. (This observation is such a truism that we must assume it is more than usually applicable to the current situation.)
Line 1
Legge: The first line, dynamic, shows its subject advancing in company with the subject of the second line. Through his firm correctness there will be good fortune.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Joint approach. Perseverance brings good fortune.
Blofeld: All approach -- righteous persistence will bring good fortune! [All approach can be taken to mean that all things desirable are converging upon us.]
Liu: Approach with sincerity. To continue brings good fortune.
Shaughnessy: Prohibited forest; determination is auspicious.
Cleary (1): Sensitive overseeing leads to good results when correct.
Wu: Pressing forward with a companion will be auspicious.
Hua-Ching Ni: Advance impartially. One should start in this manner and continue in this direction. Good Fortune.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: His will is set on doing what is right. Wilhelm/Baynes: His will is to act correctly. Blofeld: This is because what is willed is carried out in righteous ways. Ritsema/Karcher: Purpose moving, correcting indeed. Cleary (2): Because the intention and the action are correct. Wu: Because his aspiration is correct.
Legge: Line one is dynamic in his proper place. The danger is that he may be more strong than prudent -- hence the caution requiring firm correctness.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: At the outset, the man advances with his associates to a higher position. He must remain more prudent than strong in doing right and not be carried away by the popular will.
Wing: Begin your endeavors in the company of those who share your enthusiasm. This will give you the kind of strong support necessary to achieve your aims. At the same time you should be certain that you are pursuing worthwhile goals. Continuing in your principles brings good fortune.
Editor: The texts of the first two lines are almost identical. As the only two yang forces in the hexagram they support and reinforce each other in their advance on the yin lines. The image suggests an ego-Self accord in the work of pacifying disparate forces within the psyche. If this is the only changing line, the new hexagram becomes number seven, Discipline, which reinforces the idea of a disciplined dynamic advance. In the context of certain questions, the Confucian commentary here sometimes seems more accessible than the original line.
If you want to go your original way, it is the way you make for yourself, which is never prescribed, which you do not know in advance, and which simply comes into being of itself when you put one foot in front of the other. If you always do the next thing that needs to be done, you will go most safely and sure-footedly along the path prescribed by your unconscious. Jung -- Letters
A. Mutual advancement. Ego and Self are in accord. Advance the Work.
Line 3
Legge: The third line, magnetic, shows one well pleased indeed to advance, but whose action will be in no way advantageous. If she becomes anxious about it however, there will be no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Comfortable approach. Nothing that would further. If one is induced to grieve over it, one becomes free of blame.
Blofeld: A willing approach, but there is nowhere towards which it would be advantageous to set out. Feeling regret on that account involves no error.
Liu: Cheerful approach does not benefit further. If one fears regret, no blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Sweetness Nearing. Without direction: Harvesting. Already grieving-over it: Without fault.
Shaughnessy: Sweet forest; there is no place beneficial; having been saddened by it, there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): Presumptuous overseeing is of no benefit. If one is troubled over this, there is no blame.
Cleary (2): … but if you trouble over it, there will be no blame.
Wu: Condescending for flaunting purposes has nothing to gain. If he is concerned of his behavior, he will make no error.
Hua-Ching Ni: Easy advancement. If one abuses one’s position, there will be trouble in the long run. If this tendency is corrected immediately, there will be no blame.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: She shows herself well pleased to advance, but her position is not that appropriate to her. If she become anxious about it her error will not be continued. Wilhelm/Baynes: The place is not the appropriate one. A fault that induces grief no longer exists. Blofeld: The foregoing is indicated by the unsuitable position of this line. However, if we grieve for it, we shall not be involved in error for long. [At present, there is no goal or destination towards which it would be profitable to move; however, if we sincerely regret this, it will not be long before we emerge from the rut.] Ritsema/Karcher: Situation not appropriate indeed. Fault not long-living indeed. Cleary (2): Once you trouble over it, blame will not last long. Wu: He is out of place. His error will be temporary.
Legge: Line three is magnetic, neither central nor in her correct position, and therefore her action will not be advantageous. Being at the top of the lower trigram of Pleased Satisfaction, she is well pleased to advance. Anxious reflection will save her from error.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man gains power, influence, and comfort. There is danger of relation and carelessness in dealing with others. But if he becomes apprehensive about his actions, he will not continue in his error and will avoid troubles.
Wing: An easy Promotion is possible now. This might lead to a careless attitude on your part. There is danger in such overconfidence. If you are quick to recognize the need for continuous caution, however, you can avoid mistakes that would otherwise harm you.
Editor: The image depicts a case in which one’s powers are not equal to the challenge. Ritsema/Karcher translate Without direction: Harvesting as: “No plan or direction is advantageous; in order to take advantage of the situation, do not impose a direction on events.” That is, success demands that you refrain from action or drop the subject of inquiry. Their rendition of: Grieving-over it means: “Sorrow, melancholy; mourn; anxious, careworn; hidden sorrow…heart-sick and anxious.” One can receive this line under conditions of deep grief, wherein (as in any line of the I Ching), extremely subtle insights often transcend an exact paraphrase.
Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalms 127: 1
A. Whether simplistic, overconfident, or just naive, your assumptions in the matter at hand are incorrect. Do not act on them.
B. Desire for something to be true doesn't make it true. Correct your viewpoint. If sorrow is involved, accept it as your teacher.
C. Unwarranted overconfidence. Nothing can be done now.
D. There are no free rides -- wake up and serve the Work.

Jugement
Legge : Pousser vers le Haut signifie un progrès réussi. Ne vous inquiétez pas de rencontrer le grand homme. Une avancée vers le sud est favorable.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Pousser vers le Haut a un succès suprême. Il faut voir le grand homme. N'ayez pas peur. Partir vers le sud apporte de la bonne fortune.
Blofeld : Ascension. Succès suprême ! Il est essentiel de voir un grand homme, afin de bannir l'anxiété. Progresser vers le sud apporte de la bonne fortune.
Liu : Ascension. Grand succès. On devrait voir un grand homme. Sans peur. Une expédition vers le sud mène à la bonne fortune.
Ritsema/Karcher : Ascension, Croissance de Printemps. Il est avantageux de visualiser de Grandes Personnes. Pas de soucis. Le Sud, châtier significatif. [Ce hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes de montée à un niveau supérieur. Il souligne que fixer un objectif plus élevé et y travailler étape par étape est la manière adéquate de le gérer. Pour être en accord avec le temps, on vous dit de : monter !]
Shaughnessy : Ascension : Réception primordiale ; bénéfique de voir le grand homme. Ne pas avoir pitié. Pour la campagne du sud, auspice.
Cleary(1) : Élévation est grandement développementale ; elle appelle à voir une grande personne, ainsi il n'y aura pas de chagrin. Une expédition vers le sud apporte de la bonne fortune.
Cleary (2) : Élévation est très réussie, etc.
Wu : Ascension indique une grande pénétration. Il sera utile de voir le grand homme. Pas d'anxiété. Il sera de bon augure d'aller vers le sud.
L'Image
Legge : Le bois poussant dans la terre -- l'image de Pousser vers le Haut. L'homme supérieur accumule de petits incréments de vertu jusqu'à ce qu'elle devienne haute et grande.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Dans la terre, le bois pousse : l'image de Pousser vers le Haut. Ainsi l'homme supérieur de caractère dévoué amasse de petites choses pour réaliser quelque chose de haut et grand.
Blofeld : Ce hexagramme symbolise les arbres poussant vers le haut depuis la terre. L'Homme Supérieur s'accorde volontiers avec les voies vertueuses ; en partant de petites choses, il accumule un grand tas de mérite.
Liu : Le bois pousse dans la terre, symbolisant Ascension. L'homme supérieur consacre sa vertu à construire des choses du petit au haut et grand.
Ritsema/Karcher : Centre de la terre donnant naissance au bois. Ascension. Un chun tzu utilise le cédant pour actualiser-tao. Un chun tzu utilise l'amassement du petit pour utiliser le haut grand.
[Actualiser-tao : ...capacité à suivre le cours tracé par le processus continu du cosmos... Lié à acquérir, TE : acquérir ce qui fait qu'un être devient ce qu'il est censé être.]
Cleary (1) : Les arbres poussent sur la terre, élévation. Ainsi les personnes supérieures suivent la vertu, accumulant le petit à la grandeur élevée.
Wu : Les arbres poussent de la terre ; c'est Ascension. Ainsi le Jun zi cultive diligemment ses vertus petit à petit pour devenir grand et large comme des arbres qui poussent.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge : La ligne magnétique monte comme l'occasion le permet. Nous avons Flexibilité, Obéissance et une ligne dynamique en dessous avec son corrélat magnétique au-dessus : cela signifie un progrès réussi. Voir le grand homme -- sa volonté est accomplie dans le sud.
Legge : Le caractère de ce hexagramme signifie avancer dans une direction ascendante, ou monter. La figure symbolise la promotion d'un officier capable au plus haut sommet de distinction. L'action de la deuxième ligne dynamique est tempérée par sa position centrale magnétique du trigramme inférieur. En tant que représentant de Pousser vers le Haut il est puissant, mais modeste et le dirigeant de la cinquième ligne magnétique accueille son avancement. L'officier a donc les qualités qui le préparent à monter ainsi qu'une occasion favorable pour le faire.
Après avoir rencontré le "grand homme" à la cinquième ligne, avancer vers le sud sera favorable. Chu Hsi dit que cela équivaut à "avancer en avant.” Étant donné que le sud est la région de la clarté et de la chaleur, le progrès sera facile et agréable.
Le trigramme inférieur symbolise le Bois, et sa première ligne faible est la racine d'un arbre enfouie dans la terre du trigramme supérieur. La croissance graduelle de cette racine pousse le tronc vers le haut au fur et à mesure que les circonstances du temps le permettent.
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement : Montez en accord avec la volonté du Soi. Tournez-vous vers la clarté.
L'Homme Supérieur grandit un peu chaque jour.
L'image du 46ème hexagramme est celle d'une plante poussant dans la terre, poussant progressivement vers le soleil. Que "une avancée vers le sud est favorable" signifie que comme toutes les plantes se tournent vers le sud vers le soleil, leur source de nourriture, nous devrions nous tourner vers la lumière et la clarté du "grand homme" ou du Soi en nous.
L'avancement vers le haut du Travail est un processus organique. Il n'y a pas de "illumination instantanée." Les nombreuses histoires et paraboles de Satori instantané qui sont courantes dans la tradition bouddhiste zen sont en réalité des récits dramatiques des derniers moments de résolution qui viennent après une vie de dévotion lente et patiente. Le Travail progresse au rythme d'un arbre -- ce qui a commencé comme un gland devient finalement un géant de la forêt, mais cela ne se produit pas du jour au lendemain.
Souvenez-vous toujours que l'Esprit dans son intégralité est toujours le Bâtisseur. Car c'est pas à pas, ligne sur ligne, précepte sur précepte, ici un peu, là un peu, que l'atteinte est accomplie dans les applications mentales, spirituelles, matérielles d'une entité dans ce monde matériel. Edgar Cayce – Livre des Changements
Cette croissance lente est une accumulation de nombreux "rassemblements" comme décrit dans le hexagramme précédent, dontPousser vers le Haut est l'image inversée. On estime qu'un être humain adulte grandit d'une seule cellule à environ cent milliards de cellules grâce à un processus de cinquante milliards de divisions mitotiques. Il est intéressant d'observer que "cent milliards" est l'estimation scientifique du nombre d'étoiles dans une galaxie donnée. Si nous appliquons l'Axiome Hermétique : "Comme en haut, ainsi en bas" à cette relation de macrocosme à microcosme, nous obtenons l'image de notre système solaire comme un seul atome dans le "corps" d'une entité galactique.
Cela devrait mettre le Travail en perspective !
