39. Trouble

Trouble.
Beneficial is the southwest,
not beneficial is the northeast.
It is beneficial to see a senior person.
Persistence brings good fortune.

There is trouble. It is beneficial to have partners and allies, and avoid people who have different interests. Some advice or help might get one through. Things will go well if one perseveres.
(At the original place and time of the Yijing, allies were in the southwest, territory they wanted to conquer was in the northeast.)
