20th Cim – Dingmao– of the Fire Element favoring Summer – The South is blessed

Pleas for fame and future were not answered,

For one’s fortunes may have transgressed upon others,

The two households must prevent losses,

So take a step back and not sigh in disappointment.

Intepretation:

Undertakings for fame and the future may not be as expected as there may be interlinking and transgressing fortunes in one’s life. The two households must defend against separation, for there will be major losses should separation come to pass. One is advised to take a step back and defend what they have, and not sigh in disappointment.

This cim poem warns the recipient to focus on family affairs and not obsess about matters of business and neglect the family as a result. Men should not keep mistresses to prevent family upheavals. This is an omen of encounters with the opposite gender that may require raising of one’s guard. In matters of finances and wealth, both will not be appeased, and even if there’s profit it will be restricted early on with nothing left later on. One should not compel with matters of business and defend against financial loss or crime.
