Governing text · Daxu: Nine at the top
In plain wordsWhat a wide-open highway of heaven, running in every direction! Held down for so long, at last the way is clear and unobstructed. Things go through.
- 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: Nine at the top. 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 Tai (Peace): A good time when above and below are in touch and everything runs smoothly.
- 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.

Verdict words in the text
Nuclear hexagram · Guimei (The Marrying Maiden)
The position is wrong and the standing is not proper; pushing forward on your own initiative will cost you.
The nuclear hexagram is formed from the four inner lines. It shows what is going on inside the situation.
