Trapped Dragon Wounded
Heaven-plate Xin over earth-plate Wu: the metal of punishment presses down on the Azure Dragon's noble qi — a dragon stranded in the shallows. It signals suppression and thwarted ambition; staying quietly within one's station preserves safety, while rash moves bring lawsuits and ruin in their wake.

Talent goes unrecognized: ability is held down, promotion lists pass you by, and pushing hard only stirs trouble. Resignation letters and demands for transfer both count as rash moves now. Keep to your post, stay low, accumulate steadily, leave your results on the record, and wait for the moment.
Wealth qi sits confined: the main business earns modestly, and expansion, leverage, or a change of lane all invite loss — movement costs money. There is an image of old money stuck underwater, and scrambling to win it back only sinks you deeper. Guard the cash flow, cut expenses, and let stability be the victory.
The relationship feels suppressed and airless — one side endlessly accommodating, grievances hard to voice. Forcing a showdown or demanding declarations now can crack the bond outright. Say what needs saying without burning what needs keeping; improve daily terms in small steps, and make no major decisions at an emotional peak.
Illness born of pent-up strain: lung qi failing to disperse, weakened spleen and stomach, worn sinews and bones — mostly the sediment of long pressure. Treatment should pair release with nourishment; do not tough it out unexamined. This is no season for chronic patients to switch therapies aggressively — steady conditioning wins.
Movement is hemmed in on all sides: itineraries pinned down by sudden restrictions, permits withheld, and a forced departure means friction the whole way. Skip nonessential long trips; when travel is necessary, go light, lower the trip's ambitions, finish the essential business and return — no detours.
The suit finds you wronged yet unable to argue it: initiating litigation invites ruin, exactly the classical warning against rash action. Defend rather than attack — hold the evidence, answer through proper procedure, file no casual countersuits, open no new fronts, work toward mediation, and lock the losses at their minimum.
