Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.You have saved up plenty of capital. Time to take it out and use it.
Governing text · Daxu: Nine in the second place
In plain wordsThe part between the cart body and the axle has come off by itself. Nobody blocked you; you saw the situation clearly and chose to stop of your own accord.
- Now
- A great store: learning, ability and resources have piled up thick, and at the same time have been held firmly in check, with no rash moves.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the second place. The answer is in that line. The text gives no verdict, only an image. Ask what in your situation the image resembles. The answer is there.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Bi (Adornment): A bit of packaging helps, but don't count on packaging to get things done.
- What to do
- Keep to the right course and don't hole up at home — going out to work and accepting a post brings good fortune, and even the big hurdles can be crossed. In ordinary times, keep learning and keep accumulating.

The position is wrong and the standing is not proper; pushing forward on your own initiative will cost you.
The nuclear hexagram is formed from the four inner lines. It shows what is going on inside the situation.
