Liu Chen Meets the Immortals劉晨遇仙
With an awl you pierce the ground, seeking a spring;
you strive hard and find it difficult.
Then, unexpectedly, you meet a true friend,
and hand in hand you rise to the clear sky.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Hard going at first, then easier. Help arrives from an unexpected connection.
詩意：此卦錐地求泉之象。凡事先難後易也。
解曰：欲望心事。西方可求。不如莫動。立地可謀。
另本 Variant：一鋤掘地要求泉，努力求之得最先，無意俄然遇知己，相逢攜手上青天。
Liu Chen Meets the Immortals
Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao went into the Tiantai mountains to gather herbs, lost their way and met two immortal women who married them. Half a year later they went home to find a century had passed. When they turned back, the path to the immortals could not be found again.
A meeting through an introduction or pure chance can suit you well. Let it unfold naturally.
Avoid forcing your proposal through alone. The right partner or patron will see value you cannot sell by yourself.
This lot invites care with money: gains come from collaboration and timely openings more than long hours. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: avoid exhaustion. Rest and get sound advice if something lingers. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
The mood at home is fair. Small kindnesses lift it further.
Those away return later than planned.
Not lost far. Stop searching everywhere and look again where you first expected it.
This lot invites patience with disputes: mediation serves you better than a hard fight. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
