Hexagram 38, Kuí (Opposition): Line 2
睽卦九二 · 火泽睽 · 中文版
九二:遇主于巷,无咎。
The line (Legge)
The second NINE, undivided, shows its subject happening to meet with his lord in a bye-passage. There will be no error.
Small Image commentary
'He happens to meet with his lord in a bye-passage:' - but he has not deviated (for this meeting) from the (proper) course.
象曰:遇主于巷,未失道也。
In plain words
Meeting one's lord in a lane: no fault. The second line corresponds to the fifth; in a time of opposition they cannot meet formally on the main road, so they meet by chance in a side street. The Small Image says it has not lost the way.
Applying it to your situation
If the formal channels are blocked, this line suggests an informal chance can still get things done. Is there a "side street" that leads to the person you need to see?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the second place, which is a yin (even) place, so it is not in its proper place. It holds the centre of the lower trigram. Its partner is line 5; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Kuí changes into Hexagram 21 Shì Kè (Biting Through). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·睽之噬嗑.
The hexagram
Hexagram 38 Kuí (Opposition). The Judgment: Kui indicates that, (notwithstanding the condition of things which it denotes), in small matters there will (still) be good success.
