Governing text · Feng: Six in the fifth place
In plain wordsInvite the talented and virtuous people of the world to your side, and there will be cause for celebration and a fine name. Good fortune. If you are not clear-sighted enough yourself, borrow the clear sight of others.
- Now
- Greatness and fullness, like the sun at noon.
- 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 Ge (Revolution): The time has come when things must change, but wait until the moment is ripe.
- What to do
- Do not worry; while it lasts, get things done openly and honorably. At the same time understand that once noon has passed the sun begins to slant. Do not mistake now for forever.
