Governing text · Wuwang: Nine in the fourth place
In plain wordsYou can hold to things as they are, and there is no blame. This is not the time to accomplish anything.
- 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 in the fourth 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 Yi (Increase): There is help and there is gain; a good time to go ahead boldly.
- 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.
