Gao Junbao's Forced Marriage
Neutral
The poem
Original: 鸾凤翔毛雨淋漓 / 当时却被雀儿欺 / 终教一日云开达 / 依旧还君整羽衣
The story
Gao Junbao, son of the general Gao Huaide, took two hundred men and a grain convoy to relieve Zhao Kuangyin, who was surrounded in the south. At Shuangsuo Mountain the bandit chief Liu Jinding stopped him and forced him to marry her. United afterwards, husband and wife cut through the encirclement together and brought the emperor out.
What it means
The image is a phoenix caught in rain, and delay is greatly to your advantage. The feathers are wet and small birds take liberties with you for the moment, though the rank is still yours. One day the cloud opens and you smooth your plumage again. While petty people are in the ascendant a decent person should not contend, but hold his own ground and wait. Endure this stretch of slighting, and do not trouble yourself to argue with sparrows.
By area of life
Wealth
The way to money is blocked. Hold rather than attack, and wait until the weather clears before making a move.
Love
The match is delayed. Patience is required, and forcing the matter now only produces complications that you do not need.
Work
A new venture meets exclusion and unfriendliness at the start. Keep your dignity and your original intention, and things ease later.
Health
Earlier treatment was largely wasted. A change of doctor or of method is needed to find the right direction again.
Travel
New arrivals are slighted and pushed aside for a while. Do your own work well and they get used to you.
Advice
Wet feathers are no reason to argue with sparrows; wait for the sky.
