Fortune No.84
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
因名喪德不和同,切忌忙中變作凶,醉後不知何處去,青松影里睡朦朧
I sincerely abhor the mourning of virtue and the lack of harmony due to the name, and the turning of evil into good in the midst of busyness. After drunkenness, not knowing where to go, I sleep in a daze in the shadow of the green pine trees.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
寒魚離水,美中不足,若問營謀,如何結局。此籤因名喪德之象,凡事勞費心力。
This lot is the elephant in the room of "mourning virtue for the sake of name." In ordinary affairs, one spends one's mind and energy in labor, but there is little profit. Like a cold fish leaving the water, there is a lack of beauty in the midst of beauty. If we ask ourselves what is the end result of our scheming, what is the end result of our scheming? What is the use of mourning for one's own virtues and deeds in order to gain fame and profit, and being scorned and criticized by the people of the world? The Divine Spirit warns us against "turning evil into good in the midst of busyness. Even if your intentions are good, your good intentions may unknowingly turn to evil in your words and deeds, causing evil to befall you. In the words of Yi Yi, "Your life is cold fish leaving the water, and beauty in the middle is insufficient. If you ask about your plans, how will they turn out?

Explanation
[Summary] Be more careful what you say and do when you are busy. Have a forgiving heart and be careful not to hurt others.
This lot has the meaning of "Busy in the midst of confusion. It encourages the parties involved to be discreet in their words and actions. When people are busy or unconscious, they tend to say or do things incorrectly. Even if there is no malicious intent, it can be "difficult to avoid" and hurt the other party. Therefore, always be careful about what you say and do. Even when admonishing others, do not speak ill of them in your haste to do them good. Otherwise, your good intentions will be altered by the influence of your emotions, which is truly regrettable. On the other hand, do not hold grudges against others' ridicule or criticism, and do not take the opportunity to retaliate and humiliate them. Do not do unto others what you would not have them do to you. If we are generous and generous in all things, we will be more beautiful in both ways.
