Guan Yin Oracle No. 7

Lady Su Flees Disaster

Lower lot

Running about, you meet barriers and danger after danger.

Dragging water and mud, you still try to cross the mountains.

You hope to seek use in another place.

Across a thousand miles, the return has not yet come.

Original text

Original Chinese verse

千乡万里未回还

更望他乡求用事

带水拖坭去度山

奔波阻隔重重险

Allusion

During the reign of King Jing of Zhou, Empress Su Ying could speak with parrots and was favored by the ruler. The western consort Mei Yuchun became jealous and framed her. Another woman took punishment in her place, while Su fled to White Horse Temple and gave birth to the crown prince. The story says that no one is free from adversity, and that peace comes from adapting to circumstance.

Translated verse

This lot shows mud and water dragging at the feet. Staying with the old course is safer.

Explanation

Retreat can still bring gain, while advance is difficult. Keep to what is old and do not reach too high.

Reading the sign

This is a heavy and obstructed lot. Burdens, distance, and repeated barriers make the path hard.

Mud and water mean weight, baggage, and entanglement. A thousand mountains and rivers mean distance and obstruction. The wise response is to adapt to where you are and stop chasing a difficult far-off plan.

By question

General Matters

The image is carrying a heavy burden while trying to cross mountains. The poem hints that seeking another plan may be necessary.

Love and Marriage

Accept the situation as it is and do not idealize love. Hard work in love may feel heavy and still bring little harvest. Even after a breakup, trying someone new may not settle.

Work, Job Search, and Business

Several jobs or ventures may have been tried without stability or much profit. More good deeds and giving are advised to improve the direction.

Exams, Competition, and Promotion

The opening is important. If the first performance is poor, the later path becomes harder.

Investment and Money

The longer the investment is held, the larger the loss may become. Take profit when it appears and avoid long holding.

Business Trade

Early credibility matters. If the beginning is mishandled, the situation can decline.

Property

Good conditions may be brief. Short-term handling is better than long-term waiting.

Health

The health sign is inauspicious.

Change and Transfer

A change may improve matters and is worth trying.

Pregnancy and Children

If seeking pregnancy or a child, pray sincerely for divine help.

Legal Matters

The phrase “a thousand mountains and waters, no return yet” points to an unfavorable legal matter.

Finding People or Things

The same image of no return suggests difficulty finding the person or item.

Travel and Going Abroad

Travel and overseas plans face long obstruction and may not bring return soon.
