Governing text · Daxu: Six in the fifth place
In plain wordsThe boar's tusks have been brought under control. The problem has already shown itself, so it is not as easy as it would have been at the start, but you have seized the crux and can contain it. Good fortune.
- Now
- A great store: learning, ability and resources have piled up thick, and at the same time have been held firmly in check, with no rash moves.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the fifth 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 Xiaoxu (Small Restraint): One last push is still missing and it won't come off — the clouds are thick, but the rain hasn't fallen.
- What to do
- Keep to the right course and don't hole up at home — going out to work and accepting a post brings good fortune, and even the big hurdles can be crossed. In ordinary times, keep learning and keep accumulating.
