Even under this exhaustion, success remains possible for one who holds firm — a person of real character finds good fortune here, without fault. But whatever is said now will not be believed.
Initial Six: Stuck sitting beneath a leafless tree, wandering deeper into a dark ravine -- three years pass and nothing comes into view.
Nine in the second: Trapped even amid food and drink -- but help is on its way, a figure of rank approaching. Better to mark the moment with ritual than to push forward now; no fault in waiting.
Six in the third: Hemmed in by rock, forced back onto thorns -- and coming home finds even the household empty. Misfortune all around.
Nine in the fourth: Relief arrives at a crawl, weighed down by its own gilded trappings -- embarrassing, but it does eventually get there.
Nine in the fifth: Mutilated and constrained, oppressed by someone of high rank -- but relief comes gradually, and this is a good time for solemn ritual.
Six at the top: Tangled in vines, unsteady on your feet -- telling yourself 'any move now will bring regret.' Once you actually own that regret and act on it anyway, fortune turns favorable.
