此卦于十事
- 事业WORK
- 处困之时，言不见信。有言不信，此时解释没有用，只能守住自己的志向等它过去。
- 感情LOVE
- 关系中的疲乏与消耗。入于其宫不见其妻，最该支持你的地方反而空着，这是此卦最痛的一句。
- 财运MONEY
- 资源见底。泽无水，此时最重要的是止血，不是找机会。
- 健康HEALTH
- 此卦是全书最需要求助的一卦。致命遂志是气魄，但困久了要有人拉一把。如果撑不住，请务必告诉信任的人或寻求专业协助。
- 学业STUDY
- 心力交瘁时读不进去是正常的。先处理状态，不是逼自己。
- 考试EXAM
- 状态困顿、疲累。先照顾身心，应考以保分为主；撑不住时请找人谈谈。
- 人际PEOPLE
- 说什么都被误解。此时少说，等局面松动再谈。
- 抉择CHOICE
- 不宜决断。困中做的决定是为了脱困，往往不是最好的选择。
- 出行TRAVEL
- 不宜远行。此时宜守，宜近。
- 寻失物LOST
- 很难找回，且可能困扰你一阵子。接受暂时找不到的事实，先处理替代。
