签66:霸王别姬
Lowest Fortune
Story
Xiang Yu was besieged by Liu Bang at Gaixia, surrounded by Chu songs on all sides. To avoid burdening the Overlord, Lady Yu drew her sword and killed herself. Xiang Yu broke through the encirclement to the Wu River but felt he had no face to see the elders east of the river, so he also killed himself. This fortune signifies the end of a hero, a tragic conclusion.
Oracle Poem
Interpretation
This fortune is extremely inauspicious, indicating that nothing will be accomplished. In career, it is close to failure; one should cut losses and retreat; in relationships, there is an omen of separation by death; cherish the present; in finances, all capital may be lost, do not struggle. The phrase "regret remains" warns that one must decide when to quit.
