Judge Bao Finds Empress Li包公尋李后
In the east the moon rises, lovely and bright;
in a moment clouds cover it, though it remains.
Sometimes it is full, sometimes it wanes;
those who say otherwise speak idle words.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Uncertainty for now, like a moon behind clouds. What is real has not disappeared; wait for clarity.
詩意:此卦月被雲遮之象。凡事昏迷未定也。
解曰:浮雲遮月。不須疑惑。等待雲收。便見明白。
另本 Variant:東方月上正蟬娟,頃刻雲遮月半邊,莫道圓時還又缺,須教缺處復重圓。
Judge Bao Finds Empress Li
A jealous consort swapped Lady Li's newborn son for a skinned civet and had her cast out. She lived as a beggar until Judge Bao heard her story, uncovered the truth, and brought her to the emperor, who was her son. The moon was hidden, not gone.
Misunderstandings run deep; avoid rushing to prove yourself.
Blocked or undermined for now. Hold steady until things clear.
This lot invites care with money: not a profit season. Cash flow over gains. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: a slow recovery; regular check-ups, no miracle cures. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Talk out tensions; keep the home safe.
Those away are held up. Wait for clearer conditions before setting out.
Look to the west, in dim or overlooked places.
This lot invites patience with disputes: even with right on your side, a settlement is wiser. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
