Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.The position is wrong and the standing is not proper; pushing forward on your own initiative will cost you.
Governing text · Guimei: Nine in the second place
In plain wordsBlind in one eye, yet still able to see. The person is worthy, but has met the wrong partner and cannot put her abilities to use. Stay true like someone who holds to the right way and keeps to it alone. That is favorable.
- Now
- The matter or the relationship did not start from quite the right place: it was set in motion by a passing mood or desire.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the second 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 Zhen (Thunder): A sudden shock will give you a fright, but it will not really hurt you.
- What to do
- Do not take the initiative to push it forward. First think through how this will end in the long run, and see where its flaws lie.
