Governing text · Fu: Nine at the beginning
In plain wordsYou went only a short way before coming back, so it never reaches the point of regret. Great good fortune. The mistake didn't go far, and the correction came in time.
- Now
- After the low point, the first breath of warmth is back. The strength is still faint, but the direction has changed.
- 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 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
- You can start again, and going forward is favorable. In the first stage of recovery, rest quietly and don't push too hard all at once. If you go wrong, turn back early.
