Hexagram 53, Jiàn (Gradual Progress): Line 1
渐卦初六 · 风山渐 · 中文版
初六：鸿渐于干，小子厉，有言，无咎。
The line (Legge)
The first SIX, divided, shows the wild geese gradually approaching the shore. A young officer (in similar circumstances) will be in a position of danger, and be spoken against; but there will be no error.
Small Image commentary
'The danger of a small officer (as represented in the first line)' is owing to no fault of his in the matter of what is right.
象曰：小子之厉，义无咎也。
In plain words
The wild goose gradually reaches the shore; the young one is in danger and there is talk, but no fault. This hexagram uses a goose rising from low to high as a picture of gradual progress; the first line is at the bottom, just starting out, and people are bound to talk. The Small Image says in principle there is no fault.
Applying it to your situation
If people are talking about you as soon as you start, this line suggests taking things step by step without minding too much. Is there anything in the talk worth listening to?
Position
A broken (yin) line in the first place, which is a yang (odd) place, so it is not in its proper place. Its partner is line 4; both are yin, so they do not respond.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Jiàn changes into Hexagram 37 Jiā Rén (The Family). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·渐之家人.
A recorded case from Takashima
Jian (Gradual) to Jia Ren: a new venture at its start: A friend asked whether a venture would succeed and received the first line of Jian, "the wild goose gradually approaches the shore; the young one is in danger; there is talk, but no fault". Takashima said it must be a first venture, like autumn geese just arrived and still gathered on the riverbank; petty people would get in the way at the start, but holding to his original aim and agreements, there would be no fault, and in four years, at the top line, help would come and large profits with it.
The hexagram
Hexagram 53 Jiàn (Gradual Progress). The Judgment: Jian suggests to us the marriage of a young lady, and the good fortune (attending it). There will be advantage in being firm and correct.
