Meeting.

Sexual attraction is a strong motivation.

You should not take a grasping lover.

 

SYMBOL TRADITION

Below Heaven there is wind.

Meeting.

A prince sends out orders in all directions.

 

This is a person who comes to seduce you in order to gain control of your life.

If someone comes to meet you and it is not because they carry a message from a prince; then you should be very suspicious of their motives.

 

 

44 LINES

1) 6 at the start

a) Attached like brakes made of metal.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Having a plan. Seeing the problem.
Ruining the pig by infecting its feet.

b) Hauling yourself back onto the path.

Your prospects can be damaged when you are held back by an attachment to someone unsuitable. This line suggests that you can see the problem and you will be able to find a way to deal with it.

 

2) 9 in 2nd throw

a) Containing a fish. No blame.
Not favourable to entertain guests.

b) Right to avoid entertaining.

The fish is an evil visitor who is kept carefully under control. If handled politely and tactfully they can be kept away from things, and people, that they might harm. In time they will give up and go away.

 

3) 9 in 3rd throw

a) The buttocks without flesh.
Now he is moving the camp. Danger.
Without greatness it is a mistake.

b) Not strong enough to move it.

This line represents somebody who is tempted to go along with the one who comes to meet. This line suggests that if you go along with what they want you will not be strong enough to cope with the situation that will develop. If you spot the problems, or realise the danger, then you can avoid making a mistake.

 

4) 9 in 4th throw

a) Not containing the fish.
Rising up brings misfortune.

b) It is a mistake to be too aloof.

This means you are tempted to treat the one who comes to meet with contempt rather than use a more subtle approach. This will cause you extra problems later. Sometimes it is better to create an illusion of friendship in order to avoid an unnecessary problem.

 

5) 9 in 5th throw

a) A willow basket is used to hold melons;
and it contains them safely when they drop down to you from Heaven.

b) It comes from Heaven it is not for hiding away.

A messenger is on his way to meet you with good news. Something good is on its way to you; and it is up to you to make proper use of it.

 

6) 9 at the top

a) Meeting with the horns.
Humiliation. No blame.

b) It is humiliating and tiring.

This line is about having an angry confrontation, and possibly a lengthy struggle, with the one who comes to meet. There is no blame in this, you may have no choice, but this sort of thing can be difficult and embarrassing.
