- Now
- Like the sun shining in the sky: you possess a great deal, and things go through.
- The key

- 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
- When you have many resources, use them for the right ends, and help good people and good things succeed. The richer you are, the more modest you must be; only then can you keep it for long.
