Stick #21: Light Beyond the Willows (Moderately Favorable)

山重水复疑无路,忽见垂杨映水居。困境之中藏转机,放宽心后见前途。

Plain reading

This lot says trouble hides a turn. Peaks and water seem to block the way, then willows and water show a dwelling. Ease the heart and the road appears — do not hammer a dead end.

Interpretation

"Light Beyond the Willows" is a moderately favorable stick. After endless mountains and rivers, willows and village appear. Relax the mind and path shows — do not force the blocked gate.

Advice

Change angle, path, or ask "what else?" — the road is often beside you.

Drawn from Lu You entering the mountain on donkey — at the end of the path a village appeared — when mind opens, so does scene.
