5th Cim – Jiashen – of the Water Element favoring Winter – The North is blessed

Your fate and life may encounter a change,

So make haste to prepare and so pre-empt,

Stand guard by Yangtze to see if events surface,

And check to see if the Great White Star stands vigil by the side.



Intepretation:

There will be abrupt and drastic changes in your life, but do not panic. If you can’t seize the initiative, then at least guard what you have and see whether the Great White Star stands vigil with you.

There might not be any major events, but this cim reveals that you may need some preemption and preparation. If you missed the opportunity, then do not blunder into more errors. For example, on matters of production, if you set up a plant while times are good but the economy stagnated when you’re ready to produce, you have incurred a loss.

Recipients of this cim should listen to their rationality and not rush into things. Cutting corners and taking short cuts will result in failure. Wait again for another good opportunity.

For marriages – the candidate may have another person in mind, so there is little chance for success

For legal matters – it is best to go for negotiations instead

For ailments – pray for protection from the Gods

For fame – ther is a chance, but do not rush

Financial fortunes will be plain. Act according to regulations during work. Do not over-reach or else invite failures.

Do not consider moving or switching jobs. Do not make unprepared moves. Calm your heart and right your conscience to settle down.

Wait for opportunities in all matters. There will be a reversal of events. Calamities will come before fortune. On family matters, a blessed person will come and unite with the clan. On Family fortunes, calamities will come first followed by blessings. Marriages will be marked by arguments and misfortunes. Pleas for children are not advised. Firstborn will be a girl with the next following a boy (two girls first). Financial undertakings should wait for a latter opportunity (poor fortunes for now). Pleas for fame will be answered, but be wary of inspections. The Age Lords are appeased. Ailments will be cured under the moonlight, darkness will mean misfortune. Travelers will have better fortune at the second half of the year. Business undertakings will gain profits first and meet blessed people later. Visitors will arrive late. Shipping will meet disastrous winds. Moving is discouraged. Lost items will be recovered but lost if finding attempts are delayed. Rains will arrive the following day. Legal matters should be concluded with external negotiations (or be taken advantage of by the government, receiving justice only much later). Farm animals will not be in a good state. Farming will face insufficiencies. Construction is discouraged. Burials and graves should be appeased first to obtain a favorable spirit. Fishing will face calamities and diseases followed by recovery. Fisheries will face difficulties initially followed by gains. Fish-fry hatcheries will be non-existent, making appearance only later. The monthly commands are insignificant. Those looking for someone must be patient. Letters from faraway will be delivered late.

The Ancients Say: Wang Jian battles Yuan Da; Duke Wen of Han crosses the Qin ridge to face frost and frozen snow.
