Test
uncertainty.
The hexagram describes a situation that has the possibility of merit but whose ultimate value
or outcome is uncertain.
The uncertainty may be tested in an attempt to
gain the prize.
Until value in the situation is proven the attempt should be regarded
as a trial only. Investments should be made
in small increments and progress re-assessed after each
increment. Set limits to how far you will go.
Let any attempt be sincere. Invest genuine effort with the expectation
of success. But don't go to extremes without suitable reward.

Have a go.
There is an interesting opportunity available to
you but its outcome is uncertain. Make a sincere attempt to
realise its possibilities.
Until its viability is established
invest in the attempt as a trial run only.
If you have cast this hexagram in the early or
middle stages of a trial then you should be patient and allow more time
for an outcome to become clear. If you have cast it late in a trial,
the fact that the uncertainty has not yet receded may be sufficient
reason to give up.
