Hexagram 5, Xū (Waiting): Line 2
需卦九二 · 水天需 · 中文版
九二：需于沙。小有言，终吉。
The line (Legge)
The second NINE, undivided, shows its subject waiting on the sand (of the mountain stream). He will (suffer) the small (injury of) being spoken (against), but in the end there will be good fortune.
Small Image commentary
'He is waiting on the sand:' - he occupies his position in the centre with a generous forbearance. Though 'he suffer the small injury of being spoken (against),' he will bring things to a good issue.
象曰：需于沙，衍在中也。虽小有言，以吉终也。
In plain words
Waiting on the sand; there is a little gossip, but in the end good fortune. The sand is closer to the water than the outskirts, nearer to danger, so some talk is hard to avoid. The second line sits at the centre of the lower trigram and is broad-minded and at ease. The Small Image says it waits generously in the middle way, and although there is some talk, it ends well.
Applying it to your situation
If you hear some comment while you wait, this line suggests keeping a broad mind and not rushing to defend yourself. Which remarks are not really worth answering?
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; both are yang, so they do not respond.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Xū changes into Hexagram 63 Jì Jì (After Completion). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·需之既济.
A recorded case from Takashima
Xu to Ji Ji: whether to go to Hokkaido to collect a debt: Nagai Taijirō had lent money to a merchant in Hokkaido who was overdue and did not answer letters, and he meant to go there himself. The second line of Xu, "waiting on the sand; some talk, good in the end", led Takashima to advise him to stay and expect the money in four months.
The hexagram
Hexagram 5 Xū (Waiting). The Judgment: Xu intimates that, with the sincerity which is declared in it, there will be brilliant success. With firmness there will be good fortune; and it will be advantageous to cross the great stream.
