Governing text · Zhen: Six in the third place
In plain wordsThe thunder leaves you scattered and helpless. If you use that fear to act quickly and correct what is wrong, there will be no disaster.
- Now
- One clap of thunder after another: sudden events, scares, upheavals.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the third 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 Feng (Abundance): This is the very height. Use it well, and know that what peaks will decline.
- What to do
- Being afraid is normal; use the occasion to check and correct yourself. Above all, do not drop the most important thing you are holding. Steady yourself, and afterward you will still be able to talk and laugh.
