Hexagram 41, Sǔn (Decrease): Line 6 (top)
损卦上九 · 山泽损 · 中文版
上九:弗损益之,无咎,贞吉,利有攸往,得臣无家。
The line (Legge)
The topmost NINE, undivided, shows its subject giving increase to others without taking from himself. There will be no error. With firm correctness there will be good fortune. There will be advantage in every movement that shall be made. He will find ministers more than can be counted by their clans.
Small Image commentary
'He gives increase to others without taking from what is his own:' - he obtains his wish on a grand scale.
象曰:弗损益之,大得志也。
In plain words
Increasing others without decreasing oneself: no fault; steadfastness brings good fortune; it is favourable to go somewhere; one gains followers beyond any single household. The top line is at the end of decrease: decreasing below to increase above has gone its full course and turns into increase without loss. The Small Image says it fully achieves its aims.
Applying it to your situation
If you are now able to help many people, this line suggests doing it in a way that harms no one. What could you do that would benefit everyone?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the top place, which is a yin (even) place, so it is not in its proper place. Its partner is line 3; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Sǔn changes into Hexagram 19 Lín (Approach). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·损之临.
A recorded case from Takashima
Sun to Lin: return a loss-making shipyard, or keep it?: Two Nagasaki merchants had taken over the Yokohama ironworks from the postal and transport bureau to repair ships, and were losing money; they wondered whether to hand it back or sell it on. The top line of Sun, "not decreasing but increasing", led Takashima to say the losses had bottomed out and gains would follow; they kept it, and ship repairs boomed the next year.
The hexagram
Hexagram 41 Sǔn (Decrease). The Judgment: In (what is denoted by) Sun, if there be sincerity (in him who employs it), there will be great good fortune:--freedom from error; firmness and correctness that can be maintained; and advantage in every movement that shall be made. In what shall this (sincerity in the exercise of Sun) be employed? (Even) in sacrifice two baskets of grain, (though there be nothing else), may be presented.
