Hexagram 39 / 64

Impediment

This is one of the worst hexagrams. The harder you try, the further you fall behind. It is difficult to tell why, but at the moment fortune does not want to have anything to do with your destiny. Now is the time to dive deep into study, reading, and scientific pursuits and to find peace in them. A few friends are likely to support you. Try to keep track of your expenses: this bad period may leave you with diminished financial resources.
