Governing text · Fu: Six in the second place
In plain wordsComing back to the right road gladly — willing to lower yourself and draw close to the right person beside you. Good fortune.
- Now
- After the low point, the first breath of warmth is back. The strength is still faint, but the direction has changed.
- 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 Lin (Approach): Momentum is rising and you can push ahead actively, but remember it won't keep rising forever.
- What to do
- You can start again, and going forward is favorable. In the first stage of recovery, rest quietly and don't push too hard all at once. If you go wrong, turn back early.
