Announce death the moment you draw Kui, and you have treated opposition as a grave. Opposition is a state. The exhausted way of the house can be repaired.

Once a relationship is in Kui, people see the other as a pig, a ghost, a robber. The bow is drawn full, and you find it is not a robber: it is that match, that person. Rain is yin and yang exchanging again. Draw the upper nine and I almost always advise: put the bow down first. Do not shoot when it most looks like a ghost. Many Kui endings are misunderstandings. Of course, some truly are robbers. So go, meet rain — do not close the eyes and call it nothing. Put the bow down, and still see clearly. See that it is a person, then talk marriage.
