Jiang Shang, also known as Jiang Ziya or Lu Wang, lived in seclusion by the Wei River during the disorder of the Shang. He fished with a straight hook, not truly seeking fish but awaiting the chance to serve as a statesman. King Wen of Zhou heard of his wisdom and invited him to become adviser. Jiang later helped Zhou overthrow Shang. The story means to wait quietly for the right time.

Love and Marriage
Wait for timing or introduction. Do not chase what is not your match. If already together, cherish the bond. If separated, warmth can still repair it.

Few buyers are asking. An introducer or broker makes the deal easier.
Health
Settling the heart is medicine. Relaxation and prayer for protection both help.

If a bad situation needs a turn, waiting may resolve more than force. Save your energy.
Pregnancy and Children
Do not rush. After some time, pregnancy can come naturally, with a tendency toward a daughter.
