What it means

胎 is the seat of being conceived among the twelve stages.

Here newly formed, without shape yet but holding possibility.

The twelve stages are found by setting the day stem against each branch; yang stems run forward and yin stems run back.

What the document says

The latent figure, full of curiosity, its purposes welling up.

It is strong at devising new work.

Let persistence and the doing be joined to it and that purpose grows to yield.
