She asked if turning her rental into a homestay was good

10 February 2023Jinan, Shandong Translated by AI

A client asked if she could turn her current rental into a homestay. The I Ching reading showed small profits and split earnings.

The screenshots were masked before they were posted. Names, avatars and birth details are covered in the originals; where a translated line reads [redacted], the source was covered too and nothing has been guessed.

Client

Could you help me see if it's auspicious to take over the place I'm living in now to run a homestay? I'll still live here myself.

请帮我看看我想盘下现在住的地方做民宿，吉吗。我自己也住在这。

Will the landlady agree? She's been a bit wishy-washy lately.

老板娘会同意吗。现在她有点反复

Could you interpret the hexagram for me, Zongyuan? [emoji]

The hexagram shifts to the Shi (Army) hexagram. First, there is opposition, meaning disagreements. Second, the Di Shi hexagram indicates income, but not much. It also has a tomb-storage image, meaning things tend to get held up, and you'll face constraints in using the physical facilities.

解卦转师卦，一是有对冲，主意见不合，二是地水师卦主入财，但财不大，又有墓库象，容易受阻，硬件条件的使用不自如受约束。

Besides, if you want to go through with it, multiple people will share the profits.

此外如果想做，要多人分钱

Client

Wow, that's really true.

哇真的

She probably prefers that I help her rent out the place instead.

她可能更希望我帮他租房子

I'd get a commission.

我拿提成

But the money wouldn't be much.

但是钱就不多

If you want to keep this going with this hexagram, you'll have to do it with split profits, and you'll need to let her get a bigger share of the benefits.

这个卦如果要持续做，就是分钱做，然后你得多让她拿点好处

Client

Thank you, Zongyuan, for always replying promptly and helping me figure things out. [emoji][emoji]
