Hexagram 48, Jǐng (The Well): Line 4
井卦六四 · 水风井 · 中文版
六四：井甃，无咎。
The line (Legge)
The fourth SIX, divided, shows a well, the lining of which is well laid. There will be no error.
Small Image commentary
'A well the lining of which is well laid. There will be no error:' - the well has been put in good repair.
象曰：井甃无咎，修井也。
In plain words
The well is being lined with brick: no fault. The fourth line is yielding and correct; it cannot yet help others, but it can put itself in order. The Small Image says it is repairing the well.
Applying it to your situation
If you cannot help others just now, this line suggests putting yourself in order first. What could you repair now?
Position
A broken (yin) line in the fourth place, which is a yin (even) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 1; both are yin, so they do not respond.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Jǐng changes into Hexagram 28 Dà Guò (Great Exceeding). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·井之大过.
The hexagram
Hexagram 48 Jǐng (The Well). The Judgment: (Looking at) Jing, (we think of) how (the site of) a town may be changed, while (the fashion of) its wells undergoes no change. (The water of a well) never disappears and never receives (any great) increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If (the drawing) have nearly been accomplished, but, before the rope has quite reached the water, the bucket is broken, this is evil.
