The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "Influence (Wooing)" transforming into "Preponderance of the Great".

In front of you lies "Lake", representing joy, pleasure, and attraction.
Behind you lies "Mountain" which transforms into "Wind". That means that stillness and obstruction are being transformed into penetration and following.
