Meng Jiangnü Seeks Her Husband姜女尋夫
News from the edge of the sky is hard to guess;
do not overthink or force your hopes.
If you grind a stone to make a mirror,
you will know you wasted your effort.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Forcing an outcome wastes energy. Stay quiet and let go of what cannot be made.
詩意：此卦守常安靜之象。凡事守己則吉也。
解曰：千般用計。枉費功夫。不如守舊。著甚來由。
另本 Variant：天邊消息應難問，切莫私心強望求，若把石頭磨作鏡，精神枉費一時休。
Meng Jiangnü Seeks Her Husband
Meng Jiangnü's husband was taken to build the Great Wall. She walked a thousand miles to bring him winter clothes, only to learn he had died and been buried in the wall. Her weeping brought the wall down.
The other person's heart is hard to read. Avoid cling.
New chances are out of reach. Focus on what is in hand.
This lot invites care with money: ordinary returns; avoid lending or overreach. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: rest and keep the mind easy; a lighter heart helps the body. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
A peaceful home that needs no big changes.
Those away find it hard to return. Avoid setting out on a long search yourself.
Probably lost. Let it go and look forward.
This lot invites patience with disputes: the opponent is stronger; settlement is better. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
