Poem about the Zhen Trigram:
Sickness grows despite prayer.
Marriage brings worry,
Moving homes is never whole.
Independence brings safety,
Esteem in virtue over wealth, enduring peace.
Kindness leads to prosperity,
Violence brings misfortune one day.
Wealth gained may disappear,
Preserving health and harmony.
False gossip spoken behind,
Bold words, yet timid face.
Spring brings aid as if by luck,
In work, there may be support.
Be wary of the deceitful thief,
Money lent, soon lost without remorse.
Interpretation: Unstable family life. Legal matters are challenging. Trade requires caution. Career prospects are weak. Caution in travel. Wealth gain is minimal. Marriage is mismatched. Seek divine help for health. Partnerships lack stability. Building or relocating is unfavorable. Lost items may be found toward the East.
