Auspicious Human Escape

Favorable for succeeding through people: seeking introductions, apprenticing to a master, forging alliances, and interviews are all blessed — patrons are willing to vouch for you. Promotion comes by recommendation rather than raw examination, and goodwill long deposited pays out now. Attend the gatherings; opportunity hides in the traffic of favors.

Joy in money matters: favorable for partnerships and for business and clients that come through acquaintances — deals close readily and keep yielding afterward. Income flows gently and steadily and will not be hurried. Sign on an auspicious door's hour; if the Void intervenes, the windfall is merely late — wait for it patiently.

The finest of marriage patterns: matchmaking, confessions, engagements, and weddings all prosper, and matches made through introduction prove the most dependable. Two affections feeding each other, mild and enduring; for the married, a harmonious household with glad tidings. Seize the present window — good matches do not wait on hesitation.

An image of well-being: the sick find good physicians and attentive care, and convalescence shows results. Yi and Ding are gentle wood and fire; the worries run no deeper than mild complaints such as liver-blood deficiency or restless sleep from deficient fire, best met with nourishing food and warmth. Pregnancy and childbirth go smoothly, with family close at hand.

Smooth journeys: favorable for visiting family and friends, keeping a matchmaking appointment, or traveling in company — warm-hearted help appears along the way, and company beats solitude. Depart on the Rest, Life, or Open Doors and keep the schedule loose. The trip is really about meeting people; meet the right one and the matter is done.

Disputes want reconciliation, and this pattern's human warmth serves mediation best: through a go-between's shuttling or a patron's good word, most suits can be laid to rest with dignity. Do not grind toward a hard verdict — winning the case while losing the goodwill is a poor trade. Extend the olive branch; the other side will likely take it.
