9 GATHERING SMALL THINGS

A wind in the sky; the first sign of a change in the weather.

	Wind Gentle
	Heaven Creative

The wind blowing across the sky has no great effect on the ground, it only gathers up small things. This is the situation of a person in a weak position; he can influence the people around him, but only in small ways. This is done gently by friendly persuasion. There is a possibility of success through careful work, done at the right time, and in the right places.

9 LINES

1) 9 at the start

a) Return inspired by Heaven. How is there blame in this? Good fortune.

b) One's righteousness brings good fortune.

You should follow the way that you believe to be correct.

2) 9 in 2nd throw

a) Hauling it back. Good fortune.

b) He does not let go.

It is possible, even if you are small, to move something that is large; if you do it in the correct way.
If you persevere you can get it to where you want it to be.

3) 9 in 3rd throw

a) The spokes burst out of the wheels. Man and wife roll their eyes.

b) He will not listen.

Here somebody refuses to listen to good advice. He thinks he is in a strong position and insists on continuing. When the collapse occurs, eyes roll because it is not worth saying: "I told you!"

4) 6 in 4th throw

a) If you are sincere, blood vanishes, and is replaced with awe.

b) Those above agree.

This line represents a sincere person who is trying to manage a difficult situation with weak powers. Your objectives turn out to be the same as those of more powerful people, so there will be plenty of help, once you are noticed.

5) 9 in 5th throw

a) Sincere and loyal. You will share wealth with your helpers.

b) You will not be alone in your riches.

This person has an able helper, and if they realise this fully, a good result will be obtained. In the weaker position, loyalty is devotion, but in the stronger position it is trustworthiness.

6) 9 at the top

a) The rain has already come, you are already resting.
You have followed the correct path. Perseverance puts the wife in danger.
The moon is nearly full. It will not be wise to punish people; it will lead to misfortune.

b) There is reason for caution.

When a weak power obtains victory, there comes a time when all the work has been done, but you still have some time to wait before the results take effect. In this situation you can relax, and rest, but not be careless. There is also a risk of not realising that the situation requires no more, and therefore you go too far. This would be a mistake.
