The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

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 6: Modesty that comes to expression.
It is favorable to set armies marching
To chastise one's own city and one's country.


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.
