Hexagram 47, Kùn (Exhaustion): Line 4
困卦九四 · 泽水困 · 中文版
九四：来徐徐，困于金车，吝，有终。
The line (Legge)
The fourth NINE, undivided shows its subject proceeding very slowly (to help the subject of the first line), who is straitened by the carriage adorned with metal in front of him. There will be occasion for regret, but the end will be good.
Small Image commentary
'He proceeds very slowly (to help the subject of the first line):' - his aim is directed to (help) that lower (line). Although he is not in his appropriate place, he and that other will (in the end) be together.
象曰：来徐徐，志在下也。虽不当位，有与也。
In plain words
Coming slowly, oppressed by a golden carriage: regret, but a good end. The golden carriage is the second line. The fourth line corresponds to the first and wants to go down to help it, but the second line is in the way. The Small Image says its aim is with the first line below, and though its position is improper, it has a partner.
Applying it to your situation
If you want to help someone but are held up for now, this line suggests it is fine to be slow: you will get there. Besides going directly, how else could you help?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the fourth place, which is a yin (even) place, so it is not in its proper place. Its partner is line 1; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Kùn changes into Hexagram 29 Kǎn (The Abysmal Water). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·困之坎.
A recorded case from Takashima
Kun (Oppression) to Kan: a loan held up by someone in between: A friend asked about his fortunes but was really thinking about a loan. The fourth line of Kun, "coming slowly, held up by a bronze carriage", led Takashima to read the first line as the borrower and the fourth as the lender: the lender was willing but blocked by the second line, and the friend should get the fifth line to talk the second round. He did, and the loan went through.
The hexagram
Hexagram 47 Kùn (Exhaustion). The Judgment: In (the condition denoted by) Kun there may (yet be) progress and success. For the firm and correct, the (really) great man, there will be good fortune. He will fall into no error. If he make speeches, his words cannot be made good.
