Structural Collapse

The ridgepole warps and buckles. Trap! The Way closes. The structure of your life is failing. You are rejecting the real sources of nourishment. Do not beat yourself against impossible obstacles and grasp at things that can only hurt you. This could be an ever-flowing source of energy. Find supportive friends. Gather the energy for a decisive new move.

九三, 棟橈, 凶.

The ridgepole sags to the breaking point. Misfortune. ##### Comments This indicates a type of man who in times of preponderance of the great insists on pushing ahead. He accepts no advice from others, and therefore they in turn are not willing to lend him support. Because of this the burden grows, until the structure of things bends or breaks. Plunging willfully ahead in times of danger only hastens the catastrophe.
