How to interpret "Wounded"
In matters of romance, this is a time when you are likely to be more vulnerable and sensitive. Pain is indicated here. Be kind and nurturing with yourself even if someone else is not.

A note on iFate's I Ching translation: This is not a direct translation of the original "Book of Changes" from 1000 BC. While multiple translations of the original text are available, they include many archaic references and can be difficult to understand for 21st century readers. iFate uses our own modern rewritings (two different editions) of the "Book of Changes" which makes interpreting I Ching readings far simpler. For iFate's additional contemporary re-writing of the original text, see our "Love I Ching" translation.
