Hexagram 60, Jié (Limitation): Line 5
节卦九五 · 水泽节 · 中文版
九五：甘节，吉；往有尚。
The line (Legge)
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows its subject sweetly and acceptably enacting his regulations. There will be good fortune. The onward progress with them will afford ground for admiration.
Small Image commentary
'The good fortune arising from the regulations enacted sweetly and acceptably' is due to (the line) occupying the place (of authority) and being in the centre.
象曰：甘节之吉，居位中也。
In plain words
Sweet limitation: good fortune; going on brings honour. The fifth line is central and correct; its restraint is just right, so it is at ease itself and others accept it gladly. The Small Image says this is because it holds the central place.
Applying it to your situation
If you want moderation to feel good, this line suggests finding just the right measure. What kind of restraint feels comfortable rather than forced?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the fifth place, which is a yang (odd) place, so it is in its proper place. It holds the centre of the upper trigram. Its partner is line 2; both are yang, so they do not respond.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Jié changes into Hexagram 19 Lín (Approach). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·节之临.
The hexagram
Hexagram 60 Jié (Limitation). The Judgment: Jie intimates that (under its conditions) there will be progress and attainment. (But) if the regulations (which it prescribes) be severe and difficult, they cannot be permanent.
