Not now.Honestly do what ought to be done. Don't count on luck, and don't make rash moves.
Governing text · Wuwang: Nine at the top
In plain wordsYou have done nothing wrong, but the road has come to its end; go any further and there is calamity, with no good in it at all.
- Now
- A hexagram of being genuine and free of falsehood. Walk the right path and things go through in a big way; if your motives are not right, trouble follows. You may also run into an accident you did nothing to bring on.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine at the top. The answer is in that line. This text describes a bad outcome. Carry on as you are and you will lose by it. Stop, step aside or change your approach. Do not force it.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Sui (Following): Go with the times and follow the right people, and you won't go wrong.
- What to do
- Don't speculate, and don't hope for windfalls. Do well what should be done and let the results come as they will. This is not a time to stir things up for selfish ends.
