Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

天降甘露,君子莫忘,求謀成就,和合吉昌。此籤天垂甘露之象,凡事大吉利也。
This lot is an elephant with "nectar dripping from the sky," and all things are very good. Even if there are difficulties in the beginning, later it will become easier, and finally, you will be able to achieve success. Good things will come to pass, and trade will be established. Marriages will be ordinary, but a good marriage is hard to come by. Fortunes will come in the winter. This is the time when the livestock and fields will be in good condition. However, we should be diligent and thrifty, and never waste money. Even if you find yourself in a tight spot, it is easy to turn things around. When the heavens send down nectar, the sovereign should remember it, and plans will come to fruition, and lots of good fortune will result from harmony.

Explanation

[Summary] Be flexible and adaptable to change. Don't stick to the old way of doing things, but improve it by incorporating other people's opinions.
This lot means to "go with the flow. It admonishes the parties involved not to be too stubborn. There is nothing wrong with doing things out of the goodness of one's heart, but it is important to assess the current situation and push forward according to the circumstances. We should not disregard the traditional way of doing things in an attempt to hastily change the status quo. By carefully examining the old way of doing things, removing unnecessary parts, and adding new principles to it, things will become more harmonious. Even if we think our own ideas are correct, we should listen to the opinions of others, humbly accept their sincere advice, and think carefully. We should strictly refrain from having personal prejudices and disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

Sima Guang removing the new laws asks for adjustment between old systems and new change. Do not reject workplace rules or family habits all at once; separate what should remain from what should change. Improvement succeeds when it becomes sustainable for everyone.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice

Pray to Wenchang Dijun for judgment to organize systems and habits wisely. Choose one thing to reform and ask for the ability to explain it convincingly.
