The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "Treading (Conduct)" transforming into "Conflict".

In front of you lies "Heaven", representing strength and creativity.
Behind you lies "Lake" which transforms into "Water". That means that joy, pleasure, and attraction are being transformed into danger and the unknown.


The Situation

10. Lu - Treading (Conduct)
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)
Below (behind): Tui - The Joyous (Lake)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Treading. Treading upon the tail of the tiger.
It does not bite the man. Success.


The Image for the Current Situation

Heaven above, the lake below:
The image of Treading.
Thus the superior man discriminates between high and low,
And thereby fortifies the thinking of the people.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 1: Simple conduct. Progress without blame.


The Future

6. Sung - Conflict
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)
Below (behind): K'an - The Abysmal (Water)


The Judgement for the Future

Conflict. You are sincere
And are being obstructed.
A cautious halt halfway brings good fortune.
Going through to the end brings misfortune.
It furthers one to see the great man.
It does not further one to cross the great water.


The Image for the Future

Heaven and water go their opposite ways:
The image of Conflict.
Thus in all his transactions the superior man
Carefully considers the beginning.
