A monk told Joshu: ‘I have just entered themonastery. Please teach me.’ Joshu asked: ‘Have you eaten your rice porridge?’The monk replied: ‘I have eaten.’ Joshu said: ‘Then you had better wash yourbowl.’
——A Zen story
一位僧人对Joshu说：\”我刚开始寺院的生活。请您指导我。Joshu问：“你吃过粥了吗？”，僧人回答说：“吃过了”。Joshu说：“那你最好把碗洗了”。
The main problem with the 5th house is atendency to ‘go over the top’. We delight in self-expression, but we don’t knowwhen to stop. In the 5th house we no longer believe we are everything, but westill think we can be or do anything. The 6th house follows the 5th and remindsus of our natural boundaries and the need for clearer self-definition. Like thephilosophy of Zen, the 6th house asks that we respect and regain the‘perfection of our original nature’, that we become what we alone are (no more,no less), and that we live this in our everyday lives. Our true vocation is tobe ourselves.
第五宫的主要问题是可能会有\”夸大其词\”的倾向。我们乐于自我表达，但我们不知道什么时候应该停止。在第五宫，我们不再相信我们就是一切，但我们仍然认为我们可以成为或者可以做任何事情。第六宫在第五宫之后，它提醒我们有与生俱来的自然边界以及对更清晰的自我定义的需求。和禅宗的哲学一样，第六宫要求我们尊重并且重获\”我们本性的完善\”，我们成为了我们自己（不多也不少），并且在日常生活中亦如是。我们真正的使命是做自己。
The 6th house shakes a finger at the 5thand retorts:
Very well, it’s wonderful to giveexpression to your creative flair, but have you really done it that cleverly?That painting is not quite right yet and you’ve exhausted yourself staying uptwo nights working on it.
第六宫对第五宫摇了摇手指，反驳道：\”很好，表达你的创意才能的确很精彩，但你真的可以很灵巧的做出来吗？那幅画完成得还不是很好，而你已经筋疲力尽地熬夜了两个晚上了。

Sure, you are having quite a sizzlingromance, but have you examined the practicalities of this as a long-termrelationship – not to mention the fact you can’t stand the after-shave hewears?
或者…当然，你有着相当热烈的浪漫，但你是否思考了把激情作为长期关系的可行性——更别提你无法忍受他刮胡子？

Congratulations, you’ve had a baby girl.Now adjust your schedule and life to her and keep those clean nappiescoming.
或者…恭喜你，你有了自己的女婴。现在为她调整你的日程安排和生活，并随时清洗尿布晾干备用。

Remember that party last week where youreally let yourself go? When you look back, don’t you think you might haveoffended that shy boy in the corner who didn’t even have a chance to speakbecause you monopolized the conversation?
或者…还记得你上周去参加的那个聚会吗？回忆当时，你不觉得你可能冒犯了角落里那个害羞的男孩吗？他连说话的机会都没有，因为你一直在夸夸其谈。
The time has come to take stock ofourselves, to discriminate between priorities, to assess the use we are makingof our power and capabilities, and above all, to recognize the limits and truthof our own nature and humanity.
现在是评估我们自己、辨别首要事项、评估我们利用影响力和才能的时候了，最重要的是承认我们自身本性及人性的局限性与真实性。
Try as it may, a pear seed can never becomean apple tree. Nor should it, if we believe as Kierkegaard did, that ‘to willto be the self which one truly is, is indeed the opposite of despair.’ The 6thhouse is all about sticking to our plan and blossoming into precisely what weare meant to be. Doing this feels right and good. But the consequences for notrespecting the truths of our own nature are stress, frustration and dis-ease:messengers telling us that something is awry and needs to be examined.
尽管可以试试，但梨的种子永远不能长成苹果树。如果我们像Kierkegaard那样相信，那么“拥有真正的自我认同，确实是绝望的对立面。”第六宫就是坚持我们的计划并成长为我们本该成为的样子。这样做的感觉很不错。但不尊重我们本性真相的后果就是压力、挫折和不安：信使告诉我们有些东西是错误的，需要加以检查有需要联系v；zhanxzhanx有需要联系v；zhanxzhanx
