Modest success is available through gentle, gradual influence. It favors moving forward, and favors seeking counsel from someone of real stature.
Initial Six: Wavering between moving ahead and pulling back, the disciplined resolve of a soldier is what serves best here.
Nine in the second: Bowing low, humbling yourself even beneath the bed, and calling on ritual specialists and diviners in numbers -- this brings good fortune, with nothing to fault.
Nine in the third: Bowing and yielding over and over without it ever quite landing brings its own quiet humiliation.
Six in the fourth: Whatever regret there was lifts -- like a hunt that comes home with three different kinds of game.
Nine in the fifth: Holding steady brings good fortune, and whatever regret there was lifts -- nothing here works against you. It may start rough, but it finishes well: study the change carefully for three days beforehand, and three days after, and the outcome is good.
Nine at the top: Submitting so completely you're bowing beneath the bed itself -- you lose both your resources and the means to defend them. Holding rigidly to this course brings misfortune.
