Sign 75: Wu Zixu Flees Through Zhao Pass at Night

Wu Zixu's father and brother were killed by King Ping of Chu. Fleeing to Wu, he reached Zhao Pass, where his portrait was posted for capture. In one night, his hair turned white from anxiety, so his appearance changed, allowing him to slip through. Later, he helped King Helü of Wu dominate and whipped King Ping's corpse for revenge. This sign signifies acute worry leading to illness, surviving amidst danger.

This sign indicates danger requiring quick wit. In career, immense pressure causes anxiety; find a way out. In love, excessive worry harms health; relax. In wealth, there is dangerous money, but with high risk. The poem's "overnight white hair" warns that worry can hurt.
