Fortune No.12

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

時臨否極泰當來,抖擻從君出暗埃,若遇卯寅佳信至,管教立志事和諧
Bad luck has already come to an end, and good fortune will come to us from now on. If we can muster up the energy to dispel the dark clouds and receive good news at the time of the "U-tiger," what we have set out to do will be fulfilled in harmony.

Explanation

[Summary] Do not give in to difficulties and continue to work hard. If you go forward with strong conviction, you will eventually achieve great results.
This lot means 'just before the brave journey'. When people encounter difficulties and rejection, it is easy to lose heart, but the road to success is never far away. Just as Pingbao Xu cried out for seven days and nights in the Qin court and finally received reinforcements, it is important to continue to work hard with strong faith and an unyielding will. Even if difficulties persist, if we never give up and keep moving toward our goal, we will eventually achieve great results.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

As Bao Xu wept at the Qin court for aid, a sincere wish must now be shown through action. Instead of staying silent to protect pride, ask concretely for the support you need. A work crisis or romantic misunderstanding can move through earnest explanation.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice
