The sorrow of parting, and the joy of someone new.
"No sorrow greater than parting in life; no joy greater than a new soulmate." Sorrow and joy together: one bond may end as a lovely new one begins.
| Single | An old bond has ended; a new kindred spirit is coming. |
|---|---|
| Dating | The relationship is changing; be honest with yourself. |
| Married | Partings and new joys at home; support each other through them. |
From Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs: Lesser Master of Fate": "No sorrow greater than parting in life; no joy greater than meeting a new soulmate." The joy and grief of a meeting between human and spirit.
