Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.The difficulty is lifting; you can breathe out.
Governing text · Xie: Six at the beginning
In plain wordsThe difficulty has only just lifted, and someone above responds to you. No blame.
- Now
- Like all things stretching out after a thunderstorm, what has been holding you is coming loose.
- 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 Guimei (The Marrying Maiden): The position is wrong and the standing is not proper; pushing forward on your own initiative will cost you.
- What to do
- If it is over, go back to normal life and stop stirring things up. If something is still unfinished, get it done soon. Be a little more lenient, with others and with yourself.
