Cautionary
A lot of brief eclipse; wait for the clouds to pass. Just as things brightened, trouble arrives, perhaps at home. Above all don't panic: ease your mind, pray for safety and watch your finances. He Wenxiu was wrongly jailed, yet Qiongzhen's devotion saw him freed. When the clouds lift, adjust your approach and things will turn.

The image: mist veiling the moon; things are not yet as you wish; keep to the old. The verdict: worries at home and trouble for family members; pray for safety, though some loss of money may still come.
From the Ming drama The Jade Hairpin: the poor scholar He Wenxiu's recitations moved the wealthy Wang Qiongzhen, and they fell in love. She left home to follow him, but he was falsely imprisoned. She cut her hair, disguised herself and struggled tirelessly for him until his name was cleared and they were united.
