Line statement
六三
震蘇蘇，震行无眚。
Shock leaves one faint and unsettled. Moving through the shock brings no calamity.
Shock leaves Line 3 unsettled, yet action in response is without calamity. Changing it makes Fire below Thunder, Hexagram 55. Movement remains above, while light replaces the repeated shock below: an image to compare with the line’s disturbed response.

- Polarity and place
- yin in an odd place: not aligned
Its yin polarity does not match the traditional odd-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 6: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 6; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
