Traditional fortune label: Most Unfavorable
Lot poem
Official litigation drags on and is difficult to clarify, It is better to settle the dispute and return to farming. Do not believe the instigations of bystanders, In this matter, you should consult with your own brothers.
Story and textual notes
Vague and hard to distinguish: right and wrong are not yet decided. Advice is given to return to farming; pushing forward brings no benefit. Do not believe instigations; one must make one's own decisions. Consult with brothers: a warning not to turn away from close relatives towards distant associates. The querent should seize the opportunity to realize this and not remain stubborn. Remaining close and thick with relatives will naturally bring benefit. Be cautious.
Interpretation
At this time, if you encounter a lawsuit, you will not obtain a favorable outcome. If you can seek peace, or even retreat to the countryside/mountains, you will surely minimize the harm. Naturally, you will have worries and doubts in your heart; it is best to let them all go now, which is the finest decision. There will be people around you inciting you; you must never believe them. At this time, you can only consult with your own brothers or trusted confidants, and you must not leak any information. You should find a way to make a clean break and retreat, and do not linger.
Traditional summary
Lawsuits are difficult to clarify; peace is valuable; no fame or achievements; travelers will arrive; marriage is not yet completed; illness is caused by spiritual disturbances; do not covet wealth, for there is ultimately no profit.
