The Oracle Poem · 籤詩
君子莫體小人為事若差池惹是非琴鳴須用知音聽守常安靜得依稀

A noble person should not act like the petty;
a small slip stirs up trouble.
The music of the qin needs a listener who understands;
keep steady and calm, and you will find your way.

English rendering: our editorial version.

Meaning

Hold to your character and seek those who truly understand you.

Traditional text

詩意:此卦要逢知己之象。凡事守常則吉也。

解曰:知音方許。閑事莫理。待得貴人。無不歡喜。

另本 Variant:小人君子別賢愚,事有差訛合是非,琴遇知音當鼓操,爭如定靜得便宜。

Guidance by topic
♡Love & Relationships

Take time; you may not be fully understood yet.

◇Career & Study

Office rivalry; stay out of it and do the work.

◈Wealth & Business

This lot invites care with money: wait. This is not a time to invest; keep your money safe. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.

✚Health & Wellbeing

Results may be unclear or an old issue may return. Stay calm. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.

⌂Home & Family

Watch words and conduct away from home.

➶Travel & Those Away

On the move. Mind your words and conduct while away.

◎Lost Items

Look quickly, near places you visit.

⚖Disputes & Legal Matters

Lack of evidence or a slippery opponent may cost you. Settle. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
