ORACLE VERSE

Wait until the waves are quiet, then pass this danger.

急水滩头放船归，风波作浪欲何为； 若要安然求稳静，等待浪静道此危。

Poem meaning
This lot shows a boat moving through a rapid shoal. Keep to the old and wait for the right time.

READING
Overall reading
The present moment is not suitable for action. Wait for this condition to pass before making the plan.
The lot says timing, affinity, and fit must match. Between two people, both sides must also be suited to each other before real achievement can be made.
BY QUESTION
Question-based reading
General Matters
The current timing is dangerous and not suited to your plan. Wait until the harsh condition passes.
Love and Marriage
Love has not arrived because the timing is wrong. If the person does not fit you, do not pursue. Marriage should be based on compatible character, not appearance or wealth. A breakup likely had real causes, so reunion is not necessary.
Work, Job Search, and Business
Choose work that fits your ability, not only salary, location, or title. In business, match people to roles and choose familiar fields where you can perform well.
Exams, Competition, and Promotion
Choose contests that fit your strengths. Promotion should be pursued only if the position, superior, and your ability fit well. Otherwise wait.
Investment and Money
Besides timing, choose investments that fit your temperament.
Business Trade
Choose projects that match your interest, skill, and personality.
Property
Do not judge only by price. Choose property that suits your use and purpose.
Health
Medicine must fit your constitution and the principle of treatment. Do not take things randomly.
Change and Transfer
Do not change blindly just because the present is poor. Know the purpose of change first.
Pregnancy and Children
Choose the fertile timing carefully before union.
Legal Matters
Harmony benefits all. If each side steps back, the dispute can calm.
Finding People or Things
The missing person or item may be among crowds or mixed places, but searching may still return without result.
Travel and Going Abroad
For distant development, wait for a good time and start after the storm has passed.
