GUANYIN ORACLE LOT 48
Han Xin Receives Command
The present looks ordinary, but the future can become greatly prosperous.
ORACLE VERSE
Translated verse
In autumn the kun bird changes into a great peng.
It loves to roam and rises joyfully in flight.
Soaring ten thousand li into the clouds,
all other birds cannot compare.
Original Chinese verse
昆鸟秋来化作鹏，好游快乐喜飞腾； 翱翔万里云霄去，余外诸禽总不能。
ALLUSION
Story allusion
Han Xin of Huaiyin first served Liu Bang after the burning of the plank roads. Many soldiers fled, and Han Xin also left. Xiao He chased him through the night and told Liu Bang that if he wished to contend for the realm, no one but Han Xin could command the armies. Han Xin was then made great general and helped found the Han dynasty through many victories.
Poem meaning
This lot shows the kun transforming into the peng. Change and movement bring great blessing.
Original reading
The kun becomes the peng, beyond the reach of other birds. Once the cassia branch is broken, blessing and rank increase on their own.
READING
Overall reading
This matter may grow into an exceptional achievement later.
The peng is the great mythical bird transformed from the kun in Zhuangzi. It suggests something vast, heroic, and not suited to small places.
A great peng rests on great trees, not small branches. The person or matter is suited to large work; small tasks may fail to show its strength.
BY QUESTION
Question-based reading
General Matters
The sign points to a future with broad light. The matter is meant to expand, not remain small.
Love and Marriage
Your standards may be high, so a match is hard to find now. A suitable partner can appear later. If already dating, the relationship works better when the other person truly has strong qualities.
Work, Job Search, and Business
A job may be hard to find because your ideals are high. Career and enterprise can become larger over time and may eventually lead others.
Exams, Competition, and Promotion
Current results may seem mild. Store energy and prepare, because later achievement can be large.
Investment and Money
This needs long management. Do not abandon it halfway, and later reward can be substantial.
Business Trade
Keep the business long-range and keep your standards. A broad vision can later put you ahead.
Property
A transaction depends on pricing. If you reduce the expected profit, it can close.
Health
Treatment needs the right method. Random treatment is useless; remove the source of distress.
Change and Transfer
A higher change can be appreciated by others if you build it step by step.
Pregnancy and Children
If hoping for a son, do good and treat others generously.
Legal Matters
With clear reason and strong spirit, justice can finally return and victory is possible.
