Fortune No.27
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
一謀一用一番機,慮後疑前不敢為,時至自然逢貴助,銀牆鐵壁好安居
Even if you try your best, you will not be able to do it because you doubt what lies ahead and fear what lies behind. When the time is right, we will naturally meet with precious help, and we will be able to live in peace, as solid as a silver or iron wall.

李鄴侯白衣宰相
Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
古花成事,寒花遇春,疑前阻滯,今得稱心。此籤牆有基址之象,凡事接引貴人鄉。
This lot is the elephant of the house with the foundation on the wall, the lot that leads you to your hometown. This is the time of "the best of times, the best of times, the best of times," the time when you are thinking, doubting the future, and unable to make a decision. However, you are meeting with the help of a nobleman, and like a silver wall and an iron wall, you have a support that you can rely on and live comfortably. However, we should not take fellowship lightly just because it is by lot, and it is only when we do so with modesty that we can move toward goodness. Otherwise, you will be fooled by that person, and in fact, you will lose your name.

Explanation
[Summary] Do not rely on others, but do it on your own. Know your place in the world and do not be greedy for excessive profits.
This lot has the meaning of "caution and fear". It is a reminder to those involved to do everything in one's power. People tend to lean on those in power and think that they will be safe if they seek a stronger "leaning mountain" (靠山), but nothing happens by chance. The reason why Hou Yi was so adamant about his government position and stipend was because his heart was clear and he did not want to be tied down by fame and profit, knowing that "the tree that follows the king is like the tiger that follows the tiger" and that "the bigger the tree, the more likely it is to bring the wind. Therefore, he did not want to be bound by fame and fortune. Knowing the principle that "if you ask a mountain for help, it will fall, and if you ask others for help, they will fall," we should keep our feet on the ground and use our own abilities to make our way up the mountain. In cooperative relationships, we should also know when to go too far and not covet too much profit. If you sink too deep, you will lose control of the situation.
Practical Advice for Modern Life
The story of the unofficial minister shows that ability can open a path without title. Rather than waiting for endorsement, raise the quality of the work before you. If you fulfill responsibilities suited to your place without chasing income or praise, the next role approaches.
Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice
Pray to Guan Sheng Dijun to be recognized through ability and trust rather than title. State your resolve to fulfill the role currently entrusted to you.
Put your wish into words
