Fortune No.53

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

失意翻成得意時,龍吟虎嘯兩相宜,青雲有路終須到,許我功名必可期
Disappointment turns into a time of triumph, and as the dragon waxes and the tiger roars, so it shall be. There is always a way to a bright future, and the fame that you are allowed to achieve will always be yours.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

教去即去,教住即住,口有亨通,到頭必利。此籤龍吟虎嘯之象,凡事求謀吉昌。
This lot is the elephant in the "dragon, gin, and tiger's roar," and if you seek to do ordinary things, you will be successful. This is the time when disappointment turns into strength. Darkness will pass away, dawn will come, and light will arrive. Therefore, in the midst of blue clouds, there is a path, and at last it will be reached. Heavenly deities allow us to do what we should do. When you are told to go, you go; when you are told to stop, you stop. The mouth (words and negotiations) will lead to success, and at the end, there will always be benefit. If you pray with sincerity and ask for protection, there will always be help that will benefit you.

Explanation

[Summary] Change your behavior according to the situation. A flexible attitude builds smooth relationships.
This lot has the meaning of "free to hold and free to release. It encourages the person concerned to take a good measure of all things. If you are too defensive, you will lose your flexibility, and your words and actions will be constrained. On the other hand, if we are too self-indulgent, we will only be selfish, and we will be seen as insolent and lacking in courtesy. If we are too solemn, we will be seen as frivolous and lacking in discretion. If you are too rigid, you will be perceived as difficult to get along with and inflexible. One should adjust one's behavior according to the situation and the occasion, saying what needs to be said and doing what needs to be done.
