15th Cim – Bingchen– of the Earth Element favoring the whole year – Every direction is blessed

The old man was still out of favors at the age of eighty,

See how he met King Wen at his old age,

So do not question about your current situation,

But instead act in patience and watch for fortune.



Intepretation:

Great Lord Jiang was still unknown at the age of eighty, so he decided to wait for his opportunity by fishing along the banks of the River Wei until King Wen decided to visit him for his wisdom. Only then did his fortunes change and became a great minister under King Wen. Your current situation is similar to the Great Lord’s predicament. There is no need to question or raise doubts, but instead act patiently for your fortunes to reverse.
