Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.The fundamental thing has not changed. The question is whether you are using it well, and using it all the way.
Governing text · Jing: Six in the fourth place
In plain wordsLine the wall of the well properly with brick; no blame. For the time being you cannot give others anything, but first put yourself in good repair.
- Now
- The hexagram of the well: the village can move, the well cannot; the water neither grows nor shrinks, and whoever comes can draw.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six 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 Daguo (Great Excess): The load is too heavy and the beam is already bent. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
- What to do
- Go back to the root that has always nourished you; repair it and use it well. See things through — if the water spills at the mouth of the well, you drew it for nothing.

You are out of step with each other. Big things will not work; small ones still can.
