Source: After the Zuo Zhuan
An old bond can resume; the other side is willing to meet you.
"As in old marriage ties, willing to come down and follow": an old bond can be renewed, and the other side is willing. In reconciling, both should give way; don't just wait for the other to bow.
| Single | An old flame or acquaintance may return; be honest. |
|---|---|
| Dating | After a cold spell they want to reconcile; both should give a little. |
| Married | Rifts at home can heal; drop your pride and speak first. |
From the Zuo Zhuan, Duke Yin year 11: Duke Zhuang of Zheng hoped the other party would, as in old marriage ties, condescend to follow and restore good relations (the temple text differs slightly).
