Reading
Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.The load is too heavy and the beam is already bent. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
Governing text · Daguo: Six at the beginning
In plain wordsFirst lay a mat of clean white thatch grass on the ground, then set things on it. In extraordinary times, being careful almost to excess brings no blame.
- Now
- Too heavy in the middle, too weak at both ends; the structure can't hold. This is an unusual situation.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six at the beginning. The answer is in that line. Neither good nor bad. Do your part, correct mistakes, and nothing will go wrong.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Guai (Resolution): There is something that should be cleared away, and the time has come to decide.
- What to do
- You can't drag along with ordinary methods; only by taking action is there a way out. When you have to carry it alone, don't be afraid; when no one understands you, don't be downcast.

Verdict words in the text
Nuclear hexagram · Qian (Heaven)
The momentum is just right. It is a good time to go all in, but don't overshoot.
The nuclear hexagram is formed from the four inner lines. It shows what is going on inside the situation.
