Oracle Text

The flower withered, the moon waned,
the mirror broken, the hairpin split;
cease your coming, cease your going—
then at last the matter finds its peace.

Interpretation

Greatly inauspicious; nothing is favorable. For judgments on marriage it is especially unsuited—there is the risk of lovers parting like the shrike and the swallow.
