Asking about work, love or money
- Work
- You are close to the top now, so work with those above you sincerely and wholeheartedly, carry out well what they ask of you, and don't grab credit or overstep: good fortune, and nothing goes wrong.
- Love
- Show more respect and sincerity to the other person, and to the people and things that matter to them; go along with their pace, and don't force things or throw tantrums. This is good, and nothing will go wrong.
- Money
- Handle money matters by the book: honor your partners' requirements and the procedures set by those above, sincerely and without clever tricks. That brings good fortune, and nothing goes wrong.

Line position
A yin line in a yin place: it is in its proper place. Its partner is the first line, which is also yin, 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 inscribed sides, old yin), this line is your answer. The primary hexagram is Sheng (Rising); when this line changes it becomes Heng (Endurance): hexagram 46 changing to 32.
