卦辞
艮其背，不获其身；行其庭，不见其人，无咎。
Keeping his back still so that he no longer feels his body. He goes into his courtyard and does not see his people. No blame.
当止则止，思不出位，心安则定。
大象传
兼山，艮；君子以思不出其位。
Mountains standing close together; the noble one does not permit his thoughts to go beyond his situation.
此卦于十事
- 事业WORK
- 当止则止，思不出其位。艮其背不获其身，停下来不是不动，是停在该停的地方。
- 感情LOVE
- 关系需要暂停而非推进。艮其辅言有序，话少一点、有条理一点，比多说有用。
- 财运MONEY
- 宜停止操作。此时不动就是最好的操作。
- 健康HEALTH
- 此卦逐爻谈身体部位，讲的是安定。静坐、休息、把注意力放回身体，此时特别有效。
- 学业STUDY
- 该停下来消化了。一直往前塞而不整理，后面会乱。
- 考试EXAM
- 考前要停、要静。别在最后一刻还大量塞新内容，稳住心神最重要。
- 人际PEOPLE
- 保持距离。行其庭不见其人，同一个空间也可以各自安好。
- 抉择CHOICE
- 宜暂缓决定。敦艮吉，稳住不动，此时是最好的选择。
- 出行TRAVEL
- 不宜行。此卦讲止，行程宜延后或取消。若已在途中，就停在原地把事情办完再走。
- 寻失物LOST
- 别动，东西就在原处附近。停下来，别再四处奔走翻找。
