The hexagram describes an absence of external relationship. It describes a time when people pay little or no attention to each other or to their external environment. They are preoccupied with themselves.

Perhaps one passes things by without noticing them, or one finds nothing outside oneself of interest, or one chooses to restrict one's attention to oneself.

It may be that external events are not relevant to one's current activity.

Focus on yourself and on activities you do alone.

Others are likely to be ignoring you, which offers an opportunity to go unnoticed. Keep a low profile.

The hexagram may be indicating that an external matter you are engrossed in is not significant to the Oracle.

This interpretation of the hexagram is significantly different to a classical I Ching understanding.
