Reading
Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.The foundation is being hollowed out bit by bit. This is no time to act.
Governing text · Bo: Six in the third place
In plain wordsYou are in the middle of a group bent on destruction, yet you alone leave them and stand on the side of what is right. No blame.
- Now
- The bad forces are rising, and good things are peeling away layer by layer. The situation is against you.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the third 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 Gen (Stillness): Stop when it is time to stop, and mind what is properly your own business.
- What to do
- Don't go forward. Stop, steady your foundation, and protect the one thing at the core. Once the worst has passed, the recovery begins.

It is not your turn to lead the charge right now. Follow the right person and do your supporting part well, and the result will be good.
The nuclear hexagram is formed from the four inner lines. It shows what is going on inside the situation.
