The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "The Abysmal (Water)" transforming into "The Well".

In front of you lies "Water", representing danger and the unknown.
Behind you lies "Water" which transforms into "Wind". That means that danger and the unknown are being transformed into penetration and following.


The Situation

29. K'an - The Abysmal (Water)
Above (in front): K'an - The Abysmal (Water)
Below (behind): K'an - The Abysmal (Water)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

The Abysmal repeated.
If you are sincere, you have success in your heart,
And whatever you do succeeds.


The Image for the Current Situation

Water flows on uninterruptedly and reaches it goal:
The image of the Abysmal repeated.
Thus the superior man walks in lasting virtue
And carries on the business of teaching.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 3: Forward and backward, abyss on abyss.
In danger like this, pause at first and wait,
Otherwise you will fall into a pit in the abyss.
Do not act in this way.


The Future

48. Ching - The Well
Above (in front): K'an - The Abysmal (Water)
Below (behind): Sun - The Gentle (Wind)


The Judgement for the Future

The Well. The town may be changed,
But the well cannot be changed.
It neither decreases nor increases.
They come and go and draw from the well.
If one gets down almost to the water
And the rope does not go all the way,
Or the jug breaks, it brings misfortune.


The Image for the Future

Water over wood: the image of The Well.
Thus the superior man encourages the people at their work,
And exhorts them to help one another.
