The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "Preponderance of the Small" transforming into "Enthusiasm".

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


The Situation

62. Hsiao Kuo - Preponderance of the Small

The Judgement for the Current Situation

Preponderance of the Small. Success.

It is well to remain below.
Great good fortune.

And to set armies marching.

Thus the ancient kings made music
In order to honor merit,
And offered it with splendor
To the Supreme Deity,
Inviting their ancestors to be present.
