The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "Coming to Meet" transforming into "Before Completion".

In front of you lies "Heaven" which transforms into "Fire". That means that strength and creativity are being transformed into brightness and warmth.
Behind you lies "Wind" which transforms into "Water". That means that penetration and following are being transformed into danger and the unknown.


The Situation

44. Kou - Coming to Meet
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)
Below (behind): Sun - The Gentle (Wind)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Coming to Meet. The maiden is powerful.
One should not marry such a maiden.


The Image for the Current Situation

Under heaven, wind:
The image of Coming to Meet.
Thus does the prince act when disseminating his commands
And proclaiming them to the four quarters of heaven.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 3: There is no skin on his thighs,
And walking comes hard.
If one is mindful of the danger,
No great mistake is made.

Line 5: A melon covered with willow leaves.
Hidden lines.
Then it drops down to one from heaven.


The Future

64. Wei Chi - Before Completion
Above (in front): Li - The Clinging (Fire)
Below (behind): K'an - The Abysmal (Water)


The Judgement for the Future

Before Completion. Success.
But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing,
Gets his tail in the water,
There is nothing that would further.


The Image for the Future

Fire over water:
The image of the condition before transition.
Thus the superior man is careful
In the differentiation of things,
So that each finds its place.
