Fortune No.3
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
衝風冒雨去還歸，役役勞身似燕兒，銜得泥來成疊後，到頭疊壞復成泥
Coming and going like a swallow in the wind and rain, even if you struggle to pile things up, in the end, it collapses and returns to its original state.
Story (Historical Background)
燕將獨守聊城
Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
千般用計，晨昏不停，誰知此事，到底無成。此籤燕子銜泥之象，凡事空心勞力。
This lot is the image of a swallow carrying mud to build a nest, only for it to collapse immediately. It indicates a fortune where even if you rush around busily and devise many schemes, there will be no fruit as a result, and it is likely to end in vain effort.

Explanation
[Summary] Flexible thinking is important. If you cannot change your policy according to the situation, your efforts will end in vain.
This fortune means "helplessness" or "at one's wit's end." If your thinking is rigid and you cannot change your methods according to the situation, your efforts will not be rewarded. It warns that unless you broaden your horizons, think flexibly, accept opinions from those around you, and change your policy without hesitating to make decisions, only busyness will increase and no results will be obtained.
Practical Advice for Modern Life
This image is of a swallow carrying mud only for the nest to collapse. Do not take comfort in busyness; review whether your current work truly leads to results. In love, focus on quality over contact frequency; at work, redesign before increasing tasks.
Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice
