Fortune No.38

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

鏡月當空出匣時,剎那雲霧暗迷離,寬心守待浮雲散,更改相宜可望為
When the moon like a mirror hangs in the sky and leaves the saggar, the clouds and mist darken it and cause it to wander. If you keep an open mind, protect and wait, and wait for the clouds to dissipate, then it is appropriate to change your mind, and you will be able to achieve your desire.

Explanation

[Summary] Patience is active waiting. If we improve ourselves and accumulate knowledge through endurance, we will seize opportunities.
This lot has the meaning of 'hasty and manic decision'. It indicates to the parties involved, 'If you do not persevere in the small, you will disrupt the great scheme. The implication of patience is broad and encompasses all phenomena. It is not limited to superficial patience. Patience is proactive, courageous, strong, optimistic, and sincere. In the case of historical episodes, "Liu Qian Hearn Gan Wu Ji Dui" is the perseverance of positivity, "Prime Minister Xiao He Chasing Han Shin" is the perseverance of bravery, "Cheng Sharp's Forbearance, Humiliation, and Hiding" is the perseverance of strength, "Zhuge Liang's Retreat to the Dragon Hill" is the perseverance of optimism, and "Guo Zi Yi Wai Hu Ming Gueigui" is the perseverance of sincerity. It is through patience that our mentality is tested moment by moment, and our incomparable wisdom is violently shaken. Therefore, persevere in all things, and never cease to enrich your knowledge.
