Asking about work, love or money
- Work
- You are in a position to help the team thrive. Keep to your role, put resources where they belong, and do practical things that benefit everyone. This is a very good time.
- Love
- This is a good time for two people to make life more comfortable and secure together. If you are single, building a good life for yourself is also laying the groundwork for a future home.
- Money
- This is a good time to make your household prosperous. Keep to your role, work diligently, live within your means, and build up the family's reserves bit by bit. That is very good.

Line position
A yin line in a yin place: it is in its proper place. Its partner is the first line, which is its opposite, so the two answer each other.
Fourth place: next to the ruler, a place of caution. Serve those above with care.
