I Ching: Hexagram 16 - The Lines, Part 1

Six at the beginning means:
Enthusiasm that expresses itself
Brings misfortune.


A man in an inferior position has aristocratic connections about which he boasts enthusiastically. This arrogance inevitably invites misfortune. Enthusiasm should never be an egotistic emotion; it is justified only when it is a general feeling that unites one with others.
