Preponderance of the Great (Ta Kuo)
Ta Kuo – Preponderance of the Great: This sign reveals a house standing on a weak foundation. It also can be a man with muscular chest and scruffy legs. The two bracing, weak yin energies can’t deal with such strong yang energies: exorbitance and danger are expected. If it was a question related to timing, the sign shows hostility. However, ff the question was about a health issue, the sign denotes a life threatening situation. But if the question was about a character, it depicts a selfish, aggressive, rigid or a passive, oversensitive, shy and weak person. Such a person is incapable to become a leader and many cases he/she is even worthless for the team. The main teaching of the sign is that do not overdo things, if you want success, always stick to the golden mean.

Line 1: Reed only bends in the strong wind, trees drop down. We should be the reed. There are many strong lines oppressing us, strength and resistance are not good for us now.
