Stick Forty-Seven — Stick Forty-Seven · Gengxu, the Guarded Gate

庚戌

FavorableThe wind is with you, if you sail.

A good gate is not a wall.
It opens, and the opening
is what the guarding was for.

Gengxu mounts strong metal on watchful earth: the gate that guards well precisely so it can open well. As a relations reading, this stick concerns boundaries — currently strong, possibly a notch too closed. Discernment about who gets your time was hard-won and remains right; the favourable adjustment is one deliberate opening. Admit one person, request or conversation you would normally screen out. Gates exist for their opening days.
