Standstill: things are blocked; hold to what is right and wait.
The image
Heaven over earth: they do not meet. Blockage and stagnation.
Judgment
否：否之匪人，不利君子貞，大往小來。
Standstill: the wrong people, unfavourable for the noble one's perseverance. The great departs, the small approaches. Hold to what is right and wait.
