Gao Junbao Wins a Bride高君保招親
The phoenix spreads its feathers in the pouring rain,
and for a time is bullied by sparrows.
Suddenly one day the clouds clear far away,
and once again you smooth your feathered robe.
English rendering: our editorial version.
A temporary setback for someone of worth. Wait for the rain to pass.
詩意:此卦鸞鳳被雨之象。凡事待時大利也。

另本 Variant:鸞鳳翎毛雨壓垂,此時應被雀輕欺,忽朝一日雲霄霽,依舊還教振羽衣。

Delays or misunderstandings. Patient conversation repairs the bond.
A colleague may take credit; avoid argueing, let the facts show.
This lot invites care with money: blocked for now. Hold your position and wait for a better time. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: slow improvement. Follow advice and avoid shortcuts. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Mend the small leaks and calm everyone's nerves.
Still on the way. Patience; the delay is temporary.
Hard to recover, or found damaged.
The other side may be difficult. Settling is wiser than fighting. For binding disputes, a qualified adviser is wiser than any oracle.
