I Ching: Hexagram 22 - The Lines, Part 3

Nine in the third place means:
Graceful and moist.
Constant perseverance brings good fortune.


This represents a very charming life situation. One is under the spell of grace and the mellow mood induced by wine. This grace can adorn, but it can also swamp us. Hence the warning not to sink into convivial indolence but to remain constant in perseverance. Good fortune depends on this.
