Top 6: In Feng screening off his house from his family, peeping through his door, living alone without people. In three years not seeing anybody. pitfall.
You are the center of your life, so be present there. No reason can be important enough to screen yourself off. See all that happens and react if necessary, make your own fate, don’t let fate just happen and don’t let others decide about your fate.

6 at 5: The pattern emerges, bringing reward and praise. Auspicious
For leading the battle, any battle, you will have to show yourself, your pattern. Only then others will coöperate, and only then your direction will be clear and strong. When that emerges, nobody and nothing will be able to stop you.
If you are not the leader, then make sure you follow one with a clear goal and a strong ethic.

9 at 4: Feng was so obscured at noon the
Dipper was seen. Meeting the lord of Yi, auspicious.
With little light and little insight, it is a blessing to meet someone who knows more or has more experience. Don't listen to your own conjectures or fear, but ask for advice, look for signs, don't discard what just seem minor details.

9 at 3: In Feng raincurtains. At midday one sees froth. Breaking one's right arm, no fault.
Not every bad omen is a prediction of big disasters. Learn to take life the way it happens instead of dreading the coming time. 'Right now' is a lot to deal with, and reckoning with the future is a good thing. But fearing it is not useful.

6 at 2: Feng was so obscured at noon the Dipper was seen. To proceed brings doubt and anxiety. With support of the allies Fa gathers. Auspicious.
When facts are not clear, your intuition gets free reign. So imagine your life, according to what you truly are or want. Some write their life in concrete, others in their mind, it does not matter how you write it – just do it. Your conviction will make others join in. When one has the mandate, one can act, no matter how bad the omens are or how much doubt others have.

Initial 9: Meeting the associated lords. For ten days, no fault. To proceed brings honor.
Abundance is a question of following a guideline. It may start with an impulsive
action, but after that it needs continuance. A great harvest needs hard and steady work,
reliable cooperation and time. So if you find an
ally, stick to him, work together. Do not doubt your course or venture, but go on the way you are going.
