Zhuge Oracle Lesson 66

Oracle Text

The work is slow, the will is quick to leap,
and back and forth it turns and turns again;
wait on until the cold deep of the year—
the blossoms fade, and then the fruit grows ripe.

Interpretation

If the time is not yet ripe, then relying on your own strength alone, success is still hard. A woman who draws this oracle shows wavering intent and wasted youth.
