Sign 89: Han Xin Receives His General's Seal
Superior Fortune
Story
Han Xin first joined Liu Bang but was not given an important position. He fled by night, but Xiao He chased him back under the moonlight and strongly recommended him as Grand General. Later, Han Xin used the strategy of "repairing the plank road by day, secretly crossing at Chencang" and helped Liu Bang conquer the realm. This sign signifies that a discerning patron recognizes talent, and brilliance finally shines.
Oracle Poem
Under the moon, the great general was brought back; Ascending the altar, receiving the seal, his ambition no lack. Secretly crossing Chencang settled heaven and earth; Not in vain did Xiao He press for his worth.
Interpretation
Career: You will meet a benefactor who promotes you; your position will leap. Be grateful and repay. Love: A good marriage needs a matchmaker; a happy couple can be formed. Wealth: Investment returns are considerable, but listen to professional advice.
