Hexagram 57, Xùn (The Gentle Wind): Line 2
巽卦九二 · 巽为风 · 中文版
九二：巽在床下，用史巫纷若，吉无咎。
The line (Legge)
The second NINE, undivided, shows the representative of Sun beneath a couch, and employing diviners and exorcists in a way bordering on confusion. There will be good fortune and no error.
Small Image commentary
'The good fortune springing from what borders on confusion' is due to the position (of the line) in the centre.
象曰：纷若之吉，得中也。
In plain words
Humble enough to kneel under the bed, earnest like the scribes and diviners of old: good fortune, no fault. The scribes and diviners conducted rites and spoke with the spirits. The second line is strong and central, humble and sincere. The Small Image says this is because it finds the middle way.
Applying it to your situation
If you need to lower yourself, this line suggests doing so sincerely rather than servilely. Does your humility come from good faith?
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, Xùn changes into Hexagram 53 Jiàn (Gradual Progress). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·巽之渐.
The hexagram
Hexagram 57 Xùn (The Gentle Wind). The Judgment: Xun intimates that (under the conditions which it denotes) there will be some little attainment and progress. There will be advantage in movement onward in whatever direction. It will be advantageous (also) to see the great man.
