Pushing Upward has supreme success. One must see the great man; fear not. Departure toward the south brings good fortune. Wood grows upward within the earth — the effortless, invisible, irresistible ascent of the rooted: not the leap of luck but the steady vertical push of that which grows. Advancement of this kind meets no resistance because it rises adapted, bending around obstacles as roots do.
Within the earth, wood grows: the superior person, of devoted character, heaps up small things in order to achieve something high and great. Trees rise by increments no eye can watch — greatness is accumulated, not seized.
You are rising — steadily, organically, the way a tree rises — and this hexagram is among the most encouraging for careers, studies and long projects: the push upward succeeds. Its method is the tree's: grow by small daily accumulations, adapt around obstacles rather than fighting them, and stay rooted in what feeds you while you climb. Act without fear — approach the influential people, take the southern road, accept the larger role. Nothing dramatic is required of you except not stopping. Effort, here, is destiny.
