Stability.
The hexagram describes a cyclic motion that is so
well balanced, or wanders so little from the stability of its centre, that it endures.
Lack of variation may make it uninteresting.
The hexagram means continuing in a regular routine.
Such movement is a model for many of the enduring
harmonic motions
found in the natural world, such as the revolution of the earth around
the sun.
The hexagram may also mean that a suspended
movement is resumed.

This is not a time to make changes. Continue with whatever you are
doing.
If things are dull, bear with them. This may be a
time when there is
simply nothing special to do. It may be spent doing chores or being
mildly entertained.
If times are good enjoy them while they last.
Pass bad times patiently.
The hexagram may be referring to a particular task or event that
is part of your regular routine, or is suggesting that it should be.
—
A general teaching of the Oracle is to act only
at the appropriate
time. Times of activity are relatively infrequent, so long periods are
sometimes endured waiting for the right moment. By understanding this
leisured pace for appropriate action, we can reduce our anxieties
regarding our spiritual purposes.
