Hexagram 11, Tài (Peace): Line 1
泰卦初九 · 地天泰 · 中文版
初九：拔茅茹，以其汇，征吉。
The line (Legge)
The first NINE, undivided, suggests the idea of grass pulled up, and bringing with it other stalks with whose roots it is connected. Advance (on the part of its subject) will be fortunate.
Small Image commentary
'The good fortune of advance, (as suggested by the emblem of) the grass pulled up,' arises from the will (of the party intended) being set on what is external to himself.
象曰：拔茅征吉，志在外也。
In plain words
Pulling up couch grass, its roots come up together with others of its kind; setting out brings good fortune. The lower three lines of Tai are all yang: when the first moves, the second and third rise with it, like worthy people drawing one another forward. The Small Image says its aim is outward, toward advancing.
Applying it to your situation
If you are about to begin something, this line suggests inviting like-minded people along. Who would be willing to go forward with you?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the first place, which is a yang (odd) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 4; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Tài changes into Hexagram 46 Shēng (Pushing Upward). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·泰之升.
The hexagram
Hexagram 11 Tài (Peace). The Judgment: In Tai (we see) the little gone and the great come. (It indicates that) there will be good fortune, with progress and success.
