Balanced
A lot of hearts in accord and finding someone who understands. Ignore gossip; express yourself sincerely and the right person will hear. Ning Qi sang by his ox and the duke recognised his worth. A good sign for partnerships, jobs and love: find someone of like mind and things fall into place.

此卦孩兒見母之象。諸事貴人大吉也。
所用謀望。皆大歡喜。從公用力。如子逢娘。
The image: a child meeting its mother; helpers bring great fortune. The verdict: all your hopes bring joy; working for the common good is as natural as a child finding its mother.
Ning Qi of Wei wanted to serve Duke Huan of Qi but had no introduction, so he drove a cart to Qi as a trader. Feeding his ox outside the city at dusk, he saw the duke passing, beat on the ox's horn and sang out his ambitions. The duke heard the man behind the song, took him back and employed him (Lüshi Chunqiu).
