Governing text · Wuwang: Nine at the beginning
In plain wordsNot a trace of falsehood in the heart. Go forward like this and there is good fortune.
- Now
- A hexagram of being genuine and free of falsehood. Walk the right path and things go through in a big way; if your motives are not right, trouble follows. You may also run into an accident you did nothing to bring on.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine at the beginning. The answer is in that line. This text describes a good outcome. Act the way it says and the matter can succeed. The promise has a condition: keep to the right course.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Pi (Standstill): This is a time when everything is blocked and shut off. It is not a good time to get things done.
- What to do
- Don't speculate, and don't hope for windfalls. Do well what should be done and let the results come as they will. This is not a time to stir things up for selfish ends.
