Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.This one is won by lasting.
Governing text · Heng: Nine in the second place
In plain wordsRegret has vanished. The position was not quite right to begin with, but you can hold to the middle way for the long run.
- Now
- A hexagram of lasting: stability and continuity make things go through. But lasting doesn't mean clinging rigidly without change; the direction stays the same while the methods may change.
- 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 Xiaoguo (Small Excess): Small things can be done; do not touch the big ones. Better to stay a little low.
- What to do
- Once you are sure, stick with it; don't switch every few days. Going forward is favorable. Don't demand too much depth or too much right at the outset.
