Yin Jiao Meets His Teacher殷郊遇師
Without reason there is no home;
a fickle heart drifts like a falling flower.
If you seek favour, you must earn it with effort;
in the end, things prove tangled as hemp.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Confusion and inconsistency tangle matters. Get clear on your principles before acting.
詩意:此卦痴人道塞之象。凡事守舊待時也。
解曰:是非莫說。必須仔細。心正理直。方免災危。
另本 Variant:不成鄰里不成家,水泡痴人似落花,若問君恩難得力,到頭畢竟事如蔴。
Yin Jiao Meets His Teacher
Yin Jiao, son of the tyrant of Shang, swore to his teacher he would not help his father. Swayed on the road by a schemer, he broke his oath. Trapped between two mountains, he would not turn back and was struck down by the teacher he had betrayed.
Unsteady and easily misread. Give it time.
The harder you push in the wrong direction, the more confused it gets. Re-examine the path.
This lot invites care with money: blocked. Preserve capital; avoid tips and shortcuts. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: restlessness of mind affects the body. Seek calm and proper care. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Unsettled; repairs and family rituals of care help.
Travellers are held up. Postpone journeys that are not essential.
Hard to recover. Retrace your steps once, then let it go.
This lot invites patience with disputes: even with right on your side, settle. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
