50th Cim – Renyin – of the Metal Element favoring Autumn - the West is favored

One would swear to not change heart before the Buddha,

So see to the future for its good messages,

An object may be made of black iron,

Yet it can also change into shining gold.

Intepretation:

Should one swear an oath before Buddha for keeping the heart to an unchanging purpose, then good news would surely come to pass. It is said that when fortune comes iron would become god, and when fortune leave gold will become iron. So worry not about the apparent worthlessness of the item. When fortune arrives, even iron can turn into gold. This cim tells the recipients that fortune has yet to arrive, but if one endeavors and work hard, success will be come to pass. Recipients must keep true to their stand and purpose and wait for a good opportunity. Once their fortune turns and becomes gradually positive, then they would be able to achieve their ambitions and goals. Those who only focus on minor gains before their eyes would only invite failure.

For pleas of marital matters, know that those who are patient and sincere would succeed; there may be difficulties and grievances at first, but those who endeavor and strive for the relationship will obtain good fruits.

For pleas of academic success, know that success will not come to pass now, it is better to work hard.

The Ancients say: The brat meets a vicious demon and three death spirits.

The death spirits brings death. The minor spirits has 26 passes; while the vicious demons have Wugui Pass and Guimen Pass.
