The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "Modesty" transforming into "Return (The Turning Point)".

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


The Situation

15. Ch'ien - Modesty
Above (in front): Kên - Keeping Still (Mountain)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Modesty creates success.
The superior man carries things through.


The Image for the Current Situation

Within the earth, a mountain:
The image of Modesty.
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 1: A superior man modest about his modesty
May cross the great water.
Good fortune.

Line 3: A superior man of modesty and merit
Carries things to conclusion.
Good fortune.


The Future

24. Fu - Return (The Turning Point)
Above (in front): Chên - The Arousing (Thunder)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)


The Judgement for the Future

Return. Success.
Going out and coming in without error.
Friends come without blame.
To and Fro goes the way.
On the seventh day comes return.
It furthers one to have somewhere to go.


The Image for the Future

Thunder within the earth:
The image of The Turning Point.
Thus the kings of antiquity closed the passes
At the time of solstice.
Merchants and strangers did not go about,
And the ruler
Did not travel through the provinces.
