Governing text · Lin: Six in the fourth place
In plain wordsGoing right up to people in person, treating those below you closely and genuinely. No blame.
- Now
- The good forces are growing, and you are in a position to lead and move others.
- 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 Guimei (The Marrying Maiden): The position is wrong and the standing is not proper; pushing forward on your own initiative will cost you.
- What to do
- Lead and help people with sincerity, not with sweet talk or pressure. Prepare ahead of time for when the tide turns.
