The Oracle Poem · 籤詩
欲待身安動泰時風中燈燭不相宜不如收拾深堂坐庶免光搖靜處明

You wish for peace and the moment to move,
but a candle in the wind is not fitting.
Better to withdraw and sit in the inner hall,
so the flame stays still and the room stays bright.

English rendering: our editorial version.

Meaning

Conditions are unstable. Protect your light by staying steady rather than moving now.

Traditional text

詩意:此卦風搖燈燭之象。凡事守常則吉也。

解曰:靜處安身。待命守時。支惹非福。守舊相宜。

另本 Variant:欲問身安運泰時,風中燈燭不相宜,爭如收拾深堂坐,庶免光搖靜處期。

李靖歸山
The Story Behind the Lot · 典故

Li Jing Returns to the Mountains

Li Jing, the general who helped found the Tang, gave up honours when the realm was at peace and went to the mountains to cultivate the Way. He knew when to put down power.

Guidance by topic
♡Love & Relationships

Outside pressures cause friction. Give each other space.

◇Career & Study

Stay in your role; frequent moves avoid suiting you now.

◈Wealth & Business

This lot invites care with money: money comes, but not easily. Stay with sound, conservative choices.

✚Health & Wellbeing

This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: keep a regular routine and watch emotional strain on the nerves. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.

⌂Home & Family

Avoid moving or renovate now. Keeping things as they are is safest.

➶Travel & Those Away

News comes before the person. Avoid long trips for now.

◎Lost Items

Nearby, somewhere quiet and out of the way.

⚖Disputes & Legal Matters

This lot invites patience with disputes: settle quietly. Dragging it out helps neither side. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
