The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "Modesty" transforming into "Obstruction".

In front of you lies "Mountain" which transforms into "Water". That means that stillness and obstruction are being transformed into danger and the unknown.
Behind you lies "Earth" which transforms into "Mountain". That means that docility and receptivity are being transformed into stillness and obstruction.

The Judgement for the Current Situation

Modesty creates success.
The superior man carries things through.

Within the earth, a mountain:

Thus the superior man reduces that which is too much,
And augments that which is too little.
He weighs things and makes them equal.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 5: No boasting of wealth before one's neighbor.
It is favorable to attack with force.
Nothing that would not further.

Perseverance brings good fortune.

Water on the mountain:
The image of Obstruction.
Thus the superior man turns his attention to himself
And molds his character.
