The Love Oracle

Your current love situation

Your current situation can be depicted as "Peace" transforming into "Innocence (The Unexpected)".

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


The Situation

11. T'ai - Peace
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)
Below (behind): K'un - The Receptive (Earth)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Peace. The small departs,
The great approaches.
Good fortune. Success.


The Image for the Current Situation

Heaven and earth unite: the image of Peace.
Thus the ruler
Divides and completes the course of heaven and earth;
He furthers and regulates the gifts of heaven and earth,
And so aids the people.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 2: Bearing with the uncultured in gentleness,
Fording the river with resolution,
Not neglecting what is distant,
Not regarding one's companions:
Thus one may manage to walk in the middle.

Line 3: No plain not followed by a slope.
No going not followed by a return.
He who remains persevering in danger
Is without blame.
Do not complain about this truth;
Enjoy the good fortune you still possess.

Line 4: He flutters down, not boasting of his wealth,
Together with his neighbor,
Guileless and sincere.

Line 5: The sovereign I
Gives his daughter in marriage.
This brings blessing
And supreme good fortune.

Line 6: The wall falls back into the moat.
Use no army now.
Make your commands known within your own town.
Perseverance brings humiliation.


The Future

25. Wu Wang - Innocence (The Unexpected)
Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)
Below (behind): Chên - The Arousing (Thunder)


The Judgement for the Future

Innocence. Supreme success.
Perseverance furthers.
If someone is not as he should be,
He has misfortune,
And it does not further him
To undertake something.


The Image for the Future

Under heaven thunder rolls:
All things attain the natural state of innocence.
Thus the kings of old,
Rich in virtue, and in harmony with the time,
Fostered and nourished all beings.
