Asking about work, love or money
- Work
- You are just starting out: follow the superior or mentor who values you and shares your direction, and rise together with them in all sincerity: great good fortune. No scheming and no wavering; once you have chosen well, follow steadily.
- Love
- When your hearts are in tune, follow that trust and move forward together: great good fortune. Keep pace with the other person sincerely, and don't play little games or keep testing them.
- Money
- With money in a partnership or at home, go along with people who are steady, trustworthy and share your goals; cooperate sincerely, and don't make separate calculations behind their backs. With your hearts set on the same thing, you rise together: great good fortune.
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 Sheng.
Line position
A yin line in a yang place: it is not in its proper place. Its partner is the fourth line, which is also yin, so there is no answer from it.
First place: the beginning of the matter. Low position, little power. Begin carefully.
When you get this line
If this is the only changing line in your cast (three inscribed sides, old yin), this line is your answer. The primary hexagram is Sheng (Rising); when this line changes it becomes Tai (Peace): hexagram 46 changing to 11.
