The 14th Lot: Yi Ding
Traditional fortune label: Most Unfavorable
Lot poem
Falling in love with a beauty at first sight, Who knew so many troubles would arise after her flight? Do not be surprised by the warmth and coldness of human relations, Having traveled far, you should know the hardships of paths and stations.
Story and textual notes
'Beauty' refers to a beautiful woman. For the inquirer, it represents the person they associate or work with. 'Like at first sight' means getting along well initially. 'Troubles after leaving' means feelings fluctuate. The warmth and coldness of human relations are generally like this, which is not surprising. One must know that people of the world cannot be lightly trusted; one is often fooled, only realizing it afterward. Just like a long-distance traveler who goes through dangers and obstacles, only then believing the difficulty of the journey. The inquirer is warned to be cautious and guard against this, so as not to leave regrets.
Interpretation
When you see a beautiful woman, you develop feelings for her, but after getting to know her, you face all kinds of difficulties from her, mostly because she dislikes your conditions, including your lack of wealth. You might feel surprised by such worldly coldness and warmth, but only those who have gone through many hardships will truly believe that not all roads are easy to walk. Encountering dangerous paths is normal. It is better to evaluate yourself first before deciding what to do. As long as you act carefully, you can surely reduce damage.
Traditional summary
Easy at the beginning but difficult at the end; fame and wealth are lost; illness is not yet stabilized; lawsuits fluctuate; pregnancy yields a daughter; traveler has not returned; affairs face many obstacles.
