Last time we sailed we lost our compass; Today we set forth to search for it again. Though the first compass was later found, It is no use now and all hope is drowned.
TRADITIONAL INTERPRETATION
Misfortune is very close, and your current efforts to prevent it are useless. Forget your old methods, and try a completely new approach, or you may end up in considerable trouble. You are more likely to find success in business than in your personal life. Remember that compromise is often the best solution to adispute.
REFLECTION
This poem is a warning. You are very close to making the wrong decision. Passion, power, and excitement have already caused you to lose your way once. Do not do it again. Use the compass of your conscience to guide you into making the correct decision - walking the true Tao. To do otherwise, will be unfortunate.
