Hexagram 57, Xùn (The Gentle Wind): Line 1
巽卦初六 · 巽为风 · 中文版
初六:进退,利武人之贞。
The line (Legge)
The first SIX, divided, shows its subject (now) advancing, (now) receding. It would be advantageous for him to have the firm correctness of a brave soldier.
Small Image commentary
'(Now) he advances, (now) he recedes:' - his mind is perplexed. 'It would be advantageous for him to have the firmness of a brave soldier:' - his mind would in that case be well governed.
象曰:进退,志疑也。利武人之贞,志治也。
In plain words
Advancing and retreating, unable to decide: it is favourable to have a warrior's firmness. The hexagram stands for gentle penetration; the first line is its ruler, too yielding and hesitant. The Small Image says the wavering comes from doubt in the mind, and a warrior's firmness brings the mind to order.
Applying it to your situation
If you cannot make up your mind, this line suggests summoning a little decisiveness. Do you already know the answer to what you are hesitating over?
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, Xùn changes into Hexagram 9 Xiǎo Chù (Small Taming). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·巽之小畜.
The hexagram
Hexagram 57 Xùn (The Gentle Wind). The Judgment: Xun intimates that (under the conditions which it denotes) there will be some little attainment and progress. There will be advantage in movement onward in whatever direction. It will be advantageous (also) to see the great man.
