GUANYIN ORACLE LOT 7
Lady Su Flees Disaster
The matter is strained, but peace comes from accepting the place you are in.
ORACLE VERSE
Translated verse
Running about, you meet barriers and danger after danger.
Dragging water and mud, you still try to cross the mountains.
You hope to seek use in another place.
Across a thousand miles, the return has not yet come.
Original Chinese verse
奔波阻隔重重险，带水拖坭去度山； 更望他乡求用事，千乡万里未回还。
ALLUSION
Story allusion
During the reign of King Jing of Zhou, Empress Su Ying could speak with parrots and was favored by the ruler. The western consort Mei Yuchun became jealous and framed her. Another woman took punishment in her place, while Su fled to White Horse Temple and gave birth to the crown prince. The story says that no one is free from adversity, and that peace comes from adapting to circumstance.
Poem meaning
This lot shows mud and water dragging at the feet. Staying with the old course is safer.
Original reading
Retreat can still bring gain, while advance is difficult. Keep to what is old and do not reach too high.
READING
Overall reading
This is a heavy and obstructed lot. Burdens, distance, and repeated barriers make the path hard.
Mud and water mean weight, baggage, and entanglement. A thousand mountains and rivers mean distance and obstruction. The wise response is to adapt to where you are and stop chasing a difficult far-off plan.
