30th Cim – Wuxu – of the Wood Element favoring Spring - the East is favored

See how the gradually the half moon changes,

But once it does then prepare yourself,

As both colors and fortunes change,

So shall efforts double for every matter.

Intepretation:

Things will change slowly, but no significant changes will be seen for this half moon. After the month, however, one must be prepared. Do not pursue too many aspirations or face disappointment. One is advised to change their ways of doing things before creating a better future, or risk wasting effort for naught. The cim warns the recipients to look for signs of waning. One must be careful in his/her dealings to safeguard the fruits of past labors.
