58th Cim – Guiwei –of the Wood Element favoring Spring - the East is favored

A snake wishes to turn into a dragon,

But its fortune is not yet through,

Those who are frail should patiently wait,

Advices may be many but most are useless.

Intepretation:

A snake wishes to become a dragon, but alas its fortunes are not enough, and its wish is but a mere fantasy. A sick frail body should be coupled with an open and patient heart. One must avoid over-exertion. There may be many advices, but most should not be heeded. This Cim tells the recipients that the fortunes are delayed and have not arrived yet. Undertakings will face many obstacles, and many things would not produce the expected result. But do not be disheartened to denigrate onself. Perservere and continue your fight and wait for a better opportunity.

For pleas of wealth, small gains can be made, but major profits will still be elusive.

For pleas of academic success, the results may not be satisfactory, and wishes may be difficult to fulfill.

For pleas of marital matters, there may be many obstacles blocking your success; forcing a proposition might not end with a good union.

For pleas of legal matters, delays may arise with a reversal in the winning and losing sides.

Moving and traveling are not favored; it is better to stay put.

For ailments, danger may come to pass, ending in fortune.

For lost items, recovery may be possible if quickly sought for.

For pregnancy inquiries, a wish must be made for a boy.

General affairs will face difficulties and misfortune. Undertakings will see success if the cim was drawn on the day of Wei. Family affairs should wait patiently and ask not for gains. Family fortune will not be harmonious. Marital affairs will not be favored. Pleas for children should not be made. Pregnancies will result in a boy. Pleas for wealth will neither be favored nor calamitous. Pleas for academic success will not be answered; success will not be achieved. The Age Lords are neither favored nor calamitous. Ailments will be delayed; recovery will not come to pass. Travelers will have a pleasant trip if this cim is drawn on the day of Wei. Business undertakings will give no fortune. Visitors will arrive on the day of Wei (half-moon). Shipping can obtain minor profits (or none). Moving should be put off. Lost items can be recovered if sought after. Pleas for rain will not come for a while. Legal affairs will see a reversal (other matters may also arise). Livestock will see financial loss and lack of prosperity. The crops will strike even. Construction should be postponed. Burials and resting places will have tranquil grounds. Fishermen can obtain minor profits. Fisheries will see no profit. Hatcheries should avoid purchases. The monthly commands reveal financia losses and frequent discords. Lost persons can be found on the day of Chen. Letters from afar must be waited for patiently.

The Ancients say: The White Snake fairy lies on a trip to the Southern Seas and meets Hanwen; Yuan Da enters Zhaoguo Pass.
