One situation

Do not bundle several decisions

A focused question makes it easier to connect the hexagram and changing lines to the situation you actually want to consider.

Your part

Keep your agency in the wording

Ask what to notice, understand, prepare for, or approach differently. The interpretation supports reflection; the decision remains yours.
