The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "Holding Together (Union)" transforming into "The Receptive".

Behind you lies "Earth", representing docility and receptivity.


The Situation

8. Pi - Holding Together (Union)
Above (in front): K'an - The Abysmal (Water)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Holding Together brings good fortune.
Inquire of the oracle once again
Whether you possess sublimity, constancy, and perseverance;
Then there is no blame.
Those who are uncertain gradually join.
Whoever comes too late
Meets with misfortune.


The Image for the Current Situation

On the earth is water:
The image of Holding Together.
Thus the kings of antiquity
Bestowed the different states as fiefs
And cultivated friendly relations
With the feudal lords.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 5: Manifestation of holding together.
In the hunt the king uses beaters on three sides only
And foregoes game that runs off in front.
The citizens need no warning.
Good fortune.


The Future

2. K'un - The Receptive
Above (in front): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)


The Judgement for the Future

The Receptive brings about sublime success,
Furthering through the perseverance of a mare.
If the superior man undertakes something and tries to lead,
He goes astray;
But if he follows, he finds guidance.
It is favorable to find friends in the west and south,
To forego friends in the east and north.
Quiet perseverance brings good fortune.


The Image for the Future

The earth's condition is receptive devotion.
Thus the superior man who has breadth of character
Carries the outer world.
