At all times, the path into hexagram 21 is that of 51 - Enlightenment & Awareness. What this implies is that the change of any hexagram into 21 is forced to go through the characteristics of 51.
At all times the path out of hexagram 21 is the opposite of the path in - in this case the path described by 57 - cultivating & influencing. Thus the process of hexagram 21 changing into any other hexagram has to pass through hexagram 57 to start.
Hexagram 21 finds it's roots in hexagram 16, Foreseeing, with the emphasis on using foresight for problem solving.
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 17, believing.
For hexagram 21, 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
