Fortune No.7
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
奔波役役重重險,帶水拖泥又渡山,更慮他方求別用,千山萬水未能還
They scramble along dangerous paths and cross mountains, getting their feet stuck in the mud. Seeking another path, they eventually find themselves unable to return to their original path and are lost in their progress.

廉將軍思用趙人
Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
退身可得,進步難為,只宜守田,切莫高扳。此籤渡水拖泥之象,凡事正直則吉。
This lot is an elephant crossing water and going over a mountain while getting bogged down in mud, indicating that if one moves forward, difficulties will mount and if one retreats, one will be able to save oneself. It is a good omen if you keep the status quo and do not try too hard to achieve higher goals.

Explanation
[Summary] Refrain from impulsive actions even if you are dissatisfied with the current situation. Cherish the environment you are in and judge your interests dispassionately.
This lot has the meaning of "一念之差". When people are dissatisfied with their current situation, they tend to look elsewhere for a way out, but impulsive decisions lead to regret. One must calmly assess the current environment and resources and carefully compare the interests of oneself and the situation. He warns that if one abandons the status quo based on temporary feelings, he will not be able to adapt to the new situation, nor will he be able to return to his original situation, and he will find himself in a situation where he will have to make both progress and regress.
Practical Advice for Modern Life
This image of being caught in water and mud warns that forced movement or switching paths can drain you. Before changing jobs, moving, or ending a relationship from dissatisfaction alone, check what cannot be undone. Improving where you are may be the shortest route.
Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice
Pray to Mazu for safety in travel and environmental change. Before departure, calmly review the destination, timing, and way back in your heart.
