Hexagram 54 · Line 4
The Marrying Maiden — 四六
Gui Mei · Si Liu
四六 · Si Liu
The Line
The marrying maiden delays the term. A late marriage comes in its time.
Interpretation
The maiden is very good, does not want to throw herself away, and thereby misses the usual time of marriage. But that does no harm. She is rewarded for her purity and finally, though late, still finds the mate destined for her.
