Trusting and sincere.Many situations are fraught with difficulties. In keeping with the symbolism, here, of the lines for man, i.e. the third and fourth lines, line 4 is a Yin line leading a Yang, and in addition line 4 has two more Yang lines behind it, pushing upward. This makes the situation difficult, and the Yin, being weak, makes for vacillation here in goals, intentions and actions. These will be aimed in the right direction, but are unlikely to produce great consistent successes. The wealth which comes from neighbors is given by the three Yang lines, the neighbors of the Yin line 4, tending to rise and come to the support of those having difficulties. The persons depicted here are ever sincere, and will never lose their trust and faith in people, especially their close friends. This reflects the inner sentiments of all concerned. These persons will not, however, be as wise as they ought to be for the work that they seek to accomplish, or the positions they wish to fill.
