Due to the presence of BOTH/AND states in this hexgram's trichotomous form, it can share context with hexgram 09 without change.

At all times, the path into hexagram 10 is that of 58 - intense self-reflecting and discussion. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 10 is forced to go through the characteristics of 58
At all times the path out of hexagram 10 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 52 - self-restraint and retainment. Thus the process of hexagram 10 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 52 to start.
Hexagram 10 finds it's roots in hexagram 47, Enforced Waiting, with the emphasis on following a path rigidly.
As we progress towards the refined point at the top of the hexagram, so we pass through ever-improving states, the description of which is given by the order of contextual hexagrams. The final contextual state, prior to text and context becoming 'one', is described by the line 5 influence - hexagram 54, immaturing.
For hexagram 10, the contextual hexagrams sequence from the base line through to the top is:
At a finer level of analysis, the contextual hexagrams encapsulate the behaviour of a hexagram pair - where one is connected to the unchanging line and the other to the line when it changes.These pairs are shown below, with The layout format described here
