Governing text · Yi: Six in the fourth place
In plain wordsKeep to the middle way and go speak to those above; your advice will be taken. A good time to use this trust to do something as big as moving the capital.
- Now
- A hexagram of increase: benefit is flowing your way. It is favorable for big undertakings and big crossings.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the fourth 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 Wuwang (Innocence): Honestly do what ought to be done. Don't count on luck, and don't make rash moves.
- What to do
- Go ahead and do it. When you see something good in others, learn it; when you find a mistake in yourself, fix it — that is the most solid increase there is.
