Fortune No.64

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

譬若金鱗放碧漪,暗遭羅網四邊圍,思量無計翻身出,命到泉關苦獨悲
For example, if a fish with golden scales were released into the ripples of blue water, it would be free to play, but it would be surrounded from all sides by a net of darkness. Even if you think about it, there is no way to get out of the situation, and when your life comes to the fountainhead, you are in agony and grieve by yourself.

石崇被害

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

身居塵內,禍自天來,早須防備,免受其災。此籤魚遭羅網之象,凡事提防陷害。
This lot is like a "fish caught in a net. If you keep yourself in the dust, misfortune will come from the heavens. Take precautions quickly, and you will be spared from disaster. This is the order of the Luo net that surrounds you on all sides. We must always be on the lookout for traps and snare of the wicked. This fortune is not always ups and downs, but it is also often empty, steep, surprising, reformed, and evil. As we wade through the dust (worldly affairs) in various directions, we may finally get out of the steeps, but the process is so arduous and difficult that it is impossible to count it all. Even if you think about it, there is no way out of it. I have a saying: "If you stay in the dust, disaster will come from the heavens. Prevent it quickly, and do not suffer from it.

Explanation

[Summary] A mouth is the source of misfortune. Refrain from emotional remarks and treat people with humility.
This lot has the meaning of "misfortune comes out of the mouth". It admonishes the parties involved not to speak what they think immediately. Self-management of emotions is important, and it is forbidden to speak evil words when one is angry or frustrated. The words that come out of one's mouth when one's mind is unstable can be deadly, and they can quickly offend and hurt others, who may not even realize that they are holding a grudge. Such verbal lapses are difficult to atone for even after time has passed. We should not be too ostentatious in our daily activities, and we should know moderation in our greed and not compete with others in any area. Only by being modest in all things and treating others with humility will we be able to keep misfortune at bay and avoid calamity.
