Zhuge Oracle Lesson 309
Zhuge Oracle Lesson 309 “Once you have set the tree to grow”: Two implications: an inch of toil, an inch of harvest. You have already poured your heart and effort into some matter, but you must wait for the right moment and others' help before it succeeds.
From the complete 384-lesson Zhuge Shen Shu (Zhuge Oracle) system.
Oracle Text
Once you have set the tree to grow,
still you must wait for the spring to come;
the east wind curls and softly blows,
and flowers bloom along the whole street.
Interpretation
Two implications: an inch of toil, an inch of harvest. You have already poured your heart and effort into some matter, but you must wait for the right moment and others' help before it succeeds.
