Changing Lines

Line Six
Your caldron is fitted with jade handles. Great success in whatever you do.

Line Five
The caldron you cook in has yellow handles and golden carrying rings. Good fortune if you keep to this course.

Line Four
A leg of the caldron buckles, spilling the hot meal on the very person you wish to serve. Trust evaporates, and the void is filled with shame and scorn.

Line Three
You cooked a perfect meal in a caldron you can't lift from the fire. The feast is wasted. Once the storm of resentment has washed over you, good fortune will come again.

Line Two
Your caldron contains a hearty meal with plenty to go around. Your rivals are jealous of your ability to provide, but they can't harm you. Good fortune.

Line One
Tip over the caldron and get rid of its stagnant contents once and for all. He marries a woman to give her children a home. Blameless.
