Line 1 advises to nip it in the bud. If you let it run its course, you will have bad luck. The zodiac sign for line 1, Ox, is void. This makes it completely unreliable. It is strong by the element of the season, but cannot be trusted. And, by the element of the hexagram, it signifies support and research. It can give you false sense of support and mislead you. The Metal of Metal Monkey day puts a tiger in line 1. Danger. A foolhardy move can result in disaster.

Chinese astrological I Ching reading: 4/7/17

4/7 is the first day of the 3rd month of the Chinese year, the month of Water Dragon. Water Dragon has strong water energy. The heaven stem of yang water, and the earth branch of Dragon combine to generate water, and Dragon acts as a storage house, or well of water. This kind of abundant water means wealth, luck, and resourcefulness. If you were born with a lot of strong Earth element in your chart, this month will bring you good financial opportunities. If you were born with a lot of Metal in your chart, this month will be good for developing your business. If you were born with a lot of Fire in your chart, you will have to stand up to challenges this month, possibly involving a relationship, especially if you are a woman. If there is a lot of Water in your birth chart, you may have a lot to do with friends and siblings this month. If there is a lot of Wood in your birth chart, this will be an excellent month for studying and taking care of your health. Dragon is one of the Stars of Art. It is especially productive for people born in years or days of Dragon, Monkey, or Rat.
Dragon gives ease to people born in years or days of Monkey, Rat, Rooster, and Tiger; is neutral toward Snake, Horse, Sheep, Pig, and Ox; and clashes with Dragon and Dog; and is ambivalent toward Rabbit.
4/7 is the day of Earth Sheep. The combination of Earth Sheep and Water Dragon brings out Peach Blossom Star, a highly social star. This is a good day for social relations generally, despite the combination being partly discordant, and favoring independence, competitiveness, and hard work.
Sheep is also a Star of Art. It is the Star of Art for Pig, Rabbit, and Sheep. If you were born in a year or day of one of these signs, this is a good day for creative work.
Sheep favors Sheep, Pig, Rabbit, Horse, and Snake; is neutral toward Monkey, Rooster, Tiger, and Dragon; clashes with Dog and Ox; and is ambivalent toward Rat.

Line 6 warns of excessive questioning and doubting, and losing the moment to act. The zodiac sign of line 6, Rabbit, is strong by the element of the season, and by the element of the Hexagram, denotes all those who come around: your friends, siblings, acquaintances, and all those with whom you have dealings. Make sure you are up to date. Rabbit is in harmony with the signs of the day and month. The Earth of Earth Sheep day puts a worm in line 6. Worms breed when things have begun to decay.
