Governing text · Ge: Six in the second place
In plain wordsWait until that day arrives, then make the change. The conditions are ripe; going forward now brings good fortune, and there is no blame.
- Now
- The hexagram of revolution: the old way no longer works. Change it rightly and properly, and regret vanishes.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the second place. The answer is in that line. This text describes a good outcome. Act the way it says and the matter can succeed. The promise has a condition: keep to the right course.
- 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
- Prepare thoroughly first, and move only once everyone can see it clearly. That is how you will be trusted. When it is time to change, change. Do not drag it out, and do not jump the gun.
