Fortune No.83

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

譬若初三四五蟾,半無半有未完全,須教十五良宵夜,到處清光到處圓
It is like the first three, four, and five moons, half gone, half present, and not yet complete. If we wait for the evening of the fifteenth night, the light will become clearer and more rounded.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

知足自足,如月初出,直到圓時,無有不吉。此籤如月初出之象,凡事待時則吉。
This lot is the elephant in the room of "the first appearance of the moon," and all things are good if you wait for the right time. Know enough and be enough. Just like the first appearance of the moon, there is nothing that can't be good until the circle. Now is the time when time and fortune are not yet complete. If you seek to make unexpected gains, you will lose money. You must refrain from doing so, and must not do so without care. Wait until the evening of the fifteenth day of the month, and only when the moonlight is clear will you see the clear light of day. Know what is enough and be enough yourself. Just like the first appearance of the moon, there is nothing that is not good until it reaches the circle.

Explanation

[Summary] Observe moderation and restraint. Do not be carried away by your desires, but enjoy yourself in moderation.
This lot has the meaning of "all things being equal". It tells the person concerned to spend according to his or her income. We all have more or less the same tastes and interests, whether it be mountain climbing, singing, shopping, or drinking. Tastes and pastimes are good and can be a way to release pressure. However, they can be dangerous if taken to excess and become sedentary. Excessive exercise is a burden on one's physical strength, excessive spending leads to inadequate income, and excessive drinking damages the liver. Therefore, all things should be done in moderation, and we must have the ability to make commitments to ourselves and practice self-control even in our daily lives. Always check your actions and behavior, deeply reflect on any wrongdoings or bad habits, and change them without delay. Only then will we be able to avoid making a small mistake and losing a great one.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

Ma Zhou entering an inn in the capital shows moderation while your base is not yet settled. Do not be carried away by entertainment, spending, or late-night company. Even in a temporary situation, those who keep life steady receive opportunity.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice

Pray to Fude Zhengshen for stability in daily life and money sense during unsettled times. Rather than rejecting pleasure, ask for a heart that keeps moderation.
