Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.One last push is still missing and it won't come off — the clouds are thick, but the rain hasn't fallen.
Governing text · Xiaoxu: Six in the fourth place
In plain wordsWith sincerity in your heart, the harm passes and the fear and dread leave too. No blame. You are the weaker side; what you rely on is gentleness, sincerity and other people's help.
- Now
- You have built up a little, but your strength is still small and cannot hold on to anything big. Things are brewing; it is not yet the time for results.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the fourth place. 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 Qian (Heaven): The momentum is just right. It is a good time to go all in, but don't overshoot.
- What to do
- Don't force it. Keep saving up bit by bit, work on yourself, and wait until the conditions are a little more solid.
