The six lines
Read from the bottom up. In a cast, only the lines that move are read, and they turn the hexagram into another one. Here they are in the original; a reading translates the moving lines and reads them for the question asked.
- First line初九：同人于門，無咎。
- Second line六二：同人于宗，吝。
- Third line九三：伏戎于莽，升其高陵，三歲不興。
- Fourth line九四：乘其庸，弗克攻，吉。
- Fifth line九五：同人，先號啕而後笑。大師克相遇。
- Top line上九：同人于郊，無悔。
