Asking about work, love or money
- Work
- The obstacle in front of you has given way, and your strength can carry the load, so you can push forward now. As long as your methods are proper, go ahead and do it freely; you will have nothing to regret.
- Love
- What was stuck before has come loose, and misunderstandings and worries are clearing. The relationship can take a step forward. As long as you are sincere and open, there is no need to hesitate any longer.
- Money
- The old obstacle has opened up and your foundation is solid, like a big cart with a sturdy axle; you can move steadily forward. Stay on the right path, and there will be nothing to regret.
This is how to read it when this is the only changing line. With several changing lines, first see which text governs; for the hexagram as a whole, see Dazhuang.
Line position
A yang line in a yin place: it is not in its proper place. Its partner is the first line, which is also yang, so there is no answer from it.
Fourth place: next to the ruler, a place of caution. Serve those above with care.
When you get this line
If this is the only changing line in your cast (three backs, old yang), this line is your answer. The primary hexagram is Dazhuang (Great Strength); when this line changes it becomes Tai (Peace): hexagram 34 changing to 11.
