Celestial Lot 84: Han Xin Deserts Chu for Han
Traditional fortune label: Good Fortune Celestial Lot
Lot poem
With a mind full of extraordinary talent, his ambition was not yet realized, Unable to lift the iron rooster, he felt out of place. Guided by Zhang Liang, he pledged himself to Han, While Xiang Yu met his dead end at the Wujiang River.
Story and textual notes
Han Xin, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, assisted Liu Bang in establishing the Han Empire. Under the guidance of Zhang Liang, Han Xin left Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, to pledge allegiance to Liu Bang.
Interpretation
Han Xin, filled with extraordinary talent, could not fulfill his soaring ambitions. In the Chu army, he was ordered by Xiang Yu to lift an iron-cast rooster but failed, which bruised his self-esteem. Fortunately, under Zhang Liang's guidance, he joined Liu Bang and eventually defeated Xiang Yu, forcing him to commit suicide at the Wujiang River, thus vindicating himself. Drawing this lot indicates a turning point this year; seize the opportunity well and do not give up on yourself. Those who obtain this lot must not act in haste. For now, keep your peace and mind your duties. By performing good deeds and cultivating blessings, you will eventually be elevated by benefactors, rise to meet great opportunities, achieve prosperity, and hold your head high. When fortune has not yet arrived in this life, conceal your talents and bide your time.
Traditional summary
Wealth can be attained. Illness can be cured. Sericulture and livestock are both profitable. The home is safe. The traveler will gradually arrive. Inquiries about pregnancy bring joy. In planning endeavors, examine details carefully; with benefactors present, move forward freely.
