SYMBOL TRADITION

Joined lakes.

Cheerful openness.

A wise man joins with his friends to talk and to exchange ideas.

 

Cheerful openness is an attractive quality and is the correct way for friends to communicate with each other. Perseverance in this type of communication will lead to success but you will need to be more guarded with people who are not your friends.

 

 

58 LINES

1) 9 at the start

a) Cheerful and harmonious openness. Good fortune.

b) Free from dubious motives.

This means that you have happiness within, which expects nothing, and needs nothing from the outside. This is good fortune and the correct way to be.

 

2) 9 in 2nd throw

a) Truthful openness.
Good fortune.
Remorse disappears.

b) Good fortune from having faith in one-self.

A cheerful and honest attitude influences people and attracts good fortune.

 

3) 6 in 3rd throw

a) Expecting cheerfulness. Misfortune.

b) Weak and foolish.

Somebody looks forward to something that they think will make them happy. They talk about it, and chase after it, and they get themselves into trouble. This may be you or somebody you know. Do you fit this description? Empty-headed, easily bored, enjoys idle pleasures and amusements, lacking inner-stability.

 

4) 9 in 4th throw

a) Businesslike cheerfulness is not comfortable.
Limiting the pressure brings joy.

b) This brings blessing.

This means that you have an inner conflict, and suffer stress, and it will continue until you make a change. You probably feel that you are reasonably happy now and that change may be risky. This line advises that your doubts about your present situation are correct and a change will lead to great improvements.

 

5) 9 in 5th throw

a) Truthfulness that is revealing brings danger.

b) You must correct this situation.

If you are cheerful you may be tempted to talk openly with someone who pretends to be your friend. This can be a great mistake. If you have this line you should not trust anyone or say any more than you need to.

 

6) 6 at the top

a) Seductive cheerfulness.

b) Not enlightened yet.

This is a false show of cheerful openness put on to try to influence people. There is no prediction of any results because it is not real and there will be no lasting effects. Try not to be fooled by it if it is being aimed at you.
