Guai: Dreaming of a woman being injured. Divination with this hexagram is not favorable for taking a wife.

The Commentaries say: This hexagram has the upper trigram as Qian (Heaven), and the lower trigram as Xun (Wind). It shows that there is wind throughout the world, which is the image of Guai. The sovereign observes this image and follows the wind's influence on all things, spreading education and instruction to all directions.

[Upper Trigram] Heaven Wind Guai (Guai Hexagram) There is Wind in the Sky

Chapter 44 of the 64 Hexagrams in the I Ching

Image says Meeting a friend in a foreign land brings joy and happiness. Know that luck brings double blessings. From now on, you will have smooth luck, and after that, there will be no problems.

This hexagram is formed by the combination of two different trigrams (lower Xun and upper Qian). Qian stands for Heaven, and Xun for Wind. There is wind throughout the world, and yin and yang combine, making all things flourish. Guai (Gou) is opposite to Guai (Gua), and they are each other's "complementary hexagrams." Guai means meeting, where yin and yang meet. However, with five yang and one yin, they cannot stay together for long.

Career Follow the proper time and sequence. But there is potential for crisis, with yin and yang not in harmony. You must rely on strong people, make many connections, strengthen your power, and prevent small people from taking advantage. Prepare early and wait for the right moment, and once it is ripe, act immediately.

Business The market is moving from a prosperous state to decline. It is best to withdraw early, as continuing to develop will be dangerous. There is no upright person helping you, but there are small people secretly scheming. In this case, maintain a clear mind, seek reliable partners, and wait patiently for the opportunity to revive commercial activities.

Aspirations Your personality is not very sociable, and you have a high opinion of yourself, so you may face difficulties and be unsuccessful. You should rely on sincere and upright people to achieve success with their support.

Travel There are difficulties, although no major disasters, but no one will help you.

Marriage Carefully examine the moral character of the partner, avoiding "triangle" disputes. If both spouses treat each other sincerely, it can turn danger into safety.

Decision-making Favorable. You can develop smoothly in a favorable environment, but never take risks, as it could lead to the opposite result. Also, always be on guard against the sabotage of people around you. To this end, you should stop evil before it becomes powerful, rather than associating with small people, even if it means being isolated.
