Ziya Leaves Office子牙棄官
Like a crane escaping from its earthly cage,
free of the cage, every road is open.
North, south, east and west, no obstacle;
you may rise straight to the ninth heaven.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Release from constraint. A way opens in every direction once you let go of what held you.
詩意：此卦仙鶴離籠之象。凡事先凶後吉也。
解曰：任意無虞。路有亨通。隨心自在。逍遙如人（神）。
另本 Variant：宛如仙鶴出樊籠，脫却羈縻處處通，南北東西無障碍，任君直上九霄中。
Ziya Leaves Office
Ziya exposed a demon at the Shang court and had to flee. His wife refused to follow him to the west and left him. Alone, he fished by the Wei River until King Wen found him and made him chief adviser. Leaving the old place was the start of everything.
After an old hurt, new affection arrives. Existing partners feel freer together.
A strong time to move on: a new employer, a new field or your own venture.
This lot invites care with money: money flows from change, not from clinging to old sources. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: release what weighs on the mind; body and spirit lighten together. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Rearranging or moving home brings fresh energy.
Those away come back. A move or journey of your own opens new ground.
Look to the south-east. You may find it only after some trouble.
This lot invites patience with disputes: step back and settle; prolonged struggle drains you. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
