The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "The Corners of the Mouth (Providing Nourishment)" transforming into "Grace".

In front of you lies "Mountain", representing stillness and obstruction.
Behind you lies "Thunder" which transforms into "Fire". That means that movement, initiative, and action are being transformed into brightness and warmth.


The Situation

27. I - The Corners of the Mouth (Providing Nourishment)
Above (in front): Kên - Keeping Still (Mountain)
Below (behind): Chên - The Arousing (Thunder)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

The Corners of the Mouth.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Pay heed to the providing of nourishment.
And to what a man seeks
To fill his own mouth with.


The Image for the Current Situation

At the foot of the mountain, thunder:
The image of Providing Nourishment.
Thus the superior man is careful of his words
And temperate in eating and drinking.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 3: Turning away from nourishment.
Perseverance brings misfortune.
Do not act thus for ten years.
Nothing serves to further.


The Future

22. Pi - Grace
Above (in front): Kên - Keeping Still (Mountain)
Below (behind): Li - The Clinging (Fire)


The Judgement for the Future

Grace has success.
In small matters
It is favorable to undertake something.


The Image for the Future

Fire at the foot of the mountain:
The image of Grace.
Thus does the superior man proceed
When clearing up current affairs.
But he dare not decide controversial issues in this way.
