The Oracle Poem · 籤詩
急水灘頭放船歸風波作波欲何為若要安然求穩靜等待浪靜過此危

Steering the boat home through rushing rapids,
why fight when wind and waves rise?
If you want calm and safety,
wait for the waves to settle before passing the danger.

English rendering: our editorial version.

Meaning

Turbulent conditions. Avoid pushing through; wait for the water to calm.

Traditional text

詩意:此卦船行急灘之象。凡事守舊待時也。

解曰:急水下船。險處待時。若問營謀。盡(不)可施為。

另本 Variant:急水灘頭放艇時,狂風作浪欲何為,待他浪靜風停後,穩載船歸過不危。

The Story Behind the Lot · 典故

Guo Ziyi Is Made a Prince

Guo Ziyi saved the Tang during the An Lushan rebellion, then was stripped of command again and again by court eunuchs. He never complained. When new revolts broke out, the court had to recall him, and he was made Prince of Fenyang.

Guidance by topic
♡Love & Relationships

Turbulent; forcing a decision makes it worse. Slow down.

◇Career & Study

Defer big moves. Holding position is wisest until the water calms.

◈Wealth & Business

Little profit and money that may not stay easily. Cash is safest; avoid speculation. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.

✚Health & Wellbeing

This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: watch temper and blood pressure; deal with small issues early. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.

⌂Home & Family

Steady the household and avoid takeing on new burdens until things calm down.

➶Travel & Those Away

Those away do return, but rough conditions make travel tiring now.

◎Lost Items

Hard to recover; it will take effort.

⚖Disputes & Legal Matters

This lot invites patience with disputes: both sides are wearing themselves out. Step back and settle while you can. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
