Governing text · Fu: Six in the third place
In plain wordsGoing wrong time after time, turning back time after time. You keep making mistakes, so it is dangerous; but each time you are willing to come back, so there is no blame.
- Now
- After the low point, the first breath of warmth is back. The strength is still faint, but the direction has changed.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the third place. The answer is in that line. There is some risk, or some regret left over, but nothing serious. Notice it early, correct it early, and things turn for the better.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Mingyi (Darkened Light): The light is pressed under the ground; for now, keep yourself somewhat hidden.
- What to do
- You can start again, and going forward is favorable. In the first stage of recovery, rest quietly and don't push too hard all at once. If you go wrong, turn back early.

Third place: the top of the lower trigram, a place of risk. A moment of transition. Be on guard.
