Governing text · Yu: Nine in the fourth place
In plain wordsEveryone's happiness comes from you, and much is gained. Don't be suspicious; bring out your utmost sincerity, and friends will naturally gather around you.
- Now
- A glad, smooth-running situation in which people are willing to move along with you. Comfort also easily makes people slack.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the fourth place. The answer is in that line. The text gives no verdict, but the picture it paints is a hopeful one. Act the way it describes and there will be something to gain.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Kun (Earth): 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.
- What to do
- While people are of one mind, get things organized. Keep your own head clear and don't sink into the comfort.
