Hexagram 30, Lí (The Clinging Fire): Line 1
离卦初九 · 离为火 · 中文版
初九:履错然,敬之无咎。
The line (Legge)
The first NINE, undivided, shows one ready to move with confused steps. But he treads at the same time reverently, and there will be no mistake.
Small Image commentary
'The reverent attention directed to his confused steps' is the way by which error is avoided.
象曰:履错之敬,以辟咎也。
In plain words
Footsteps criss-crossing; with care and respect there is no fault. The first line is the start of the hexagram of clinging brightness: at the beginning, many things are going on at once. The Small Image says respect is how one avoids fault.
Applying it to your situation
If you are just beginning and everything seems tangled, this line suggests handling things one at a time with care. What deserves your attention first?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the first place, which is a yang (odd) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 4; both are yang, so they do not respond.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Lí changes into Hexagram 56 Lǚ (The Wanderer). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·离之旅.
The hexagram
Hexagram 30 Lí (The Clinging Fire). The Judgment: Li indicates that, (in regard to what it denotes), it will be advantageous to be firm and correct, and that thus there will be free course and success. Let (its subject) also nourish (a docility like that of) the cow, and there will be good fortune.
