Hexagram 25, Wú Wàng (Innocence): Line 6 (top)
无妄卦上九 · 天雷无妄 · 中文版
上九:无妄,行有眚,无攸利。
The line (Legge)
The topmost NINE, undivided, shows its subject free from insincerity, yet sure to fall into error, if he take action. (His action) will not be advantageous in any way.
Small Image commentary
'The action (in this case) of one who is free from insincerity' will occasion the calamity arising from action (when the time for it is) exhausted.
象曰:无妄之行,穷之灾也。
In plain words
Even without falseness, action brings disaster, and nothing is gained. The top line is at the end of the hexagram: its time and position are exhausted, and it should not move. The Small Image says this is the disaster of reaching the end.
Applying it to your situation
If your intentions are good but the timing is wrong, this line suggests not moving yet. What would you lose by staying still now?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the top place, which is a yin (even) place, so it is not in its proper place. Its partner is line 3; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Wú Wàng changes into Hexagram 17 Suí (Following). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·无妄之随.
The hexagram
Hexagram 25 Wú Wàng (Innocence). The Judgment: Wu Wang indicates great progress and success, while there will be advantage in being firm and correct. If (its subject and his action) be not correct, he will fall into errors, and it will not be advantageous for him to move in any direction.
