Fortune No.88

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

木雕一虎在山林,遠望威容意不禁,縱說不妨終可畏,此身如入大江心
There is a tiger carved out of wood in the mountains and forests, and when I look at it from afar, I cannot bear its majestic appearance. Even if it were unhindered, it would still be awe-inspiring, and my body would be as if I were in the heart of a great river.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

爐頭點雪,耳邊過風,可宜作福,前凶後吉。此籤木虎虛驚之象,凡事宜守待時。
This lot is a "wooden tiger's false surprise" elephant, and if one observes a hundred things and waits for the right time, it will be a good omen. The snow is lit on the head of the blast furnace, and the wind blows around the ears. It is good for making good fortune, and the first is bad and the second is good. If you look at the carved wooden tiger from afar, it is hard to resist its majestic appearance. Even if you say, "There is no obstacle," you will be afraid at the end of the day. Do not lean on your strength to overcome your weakness. Do not seek greed, and do not seek misfortune for your own sake. Be sure to refrain from doing so. Yi jingzhi:爐頭点雪, 耳辺過風. It is good to make good fortune.

Explanation

[Summary] Act cautiously and without haste. Make decisions based on reliable information and refrain from rash actions.
This lot has the meaning of "揠苗助長". It encourages the parties concerned not to be in too much of a hurry in all matters. When you hear about something, especially when it concerns your own interest, it is easy to become discouraged because the matter is not yet clear. The good side is in a hurry to get things done quickly, while the bad side is in a hurry not to do anything wrong. The good side is in a hurry to get things done, and the bad side is in a hurry not to do it. However, the results of haste are often the opposite, and can even lead to irreversible mistakes. Many things are just rumors, and while they are undetermined, we should maintain a watchful eye. If you are too eager, even when it comes to other people's affairs, you will end up being the one who is the "one who is in love with you," and you will cause trouble for yourself, and you will not be able to help others and you will suffer ashes. Keep your mind objective in all things and avoid preconceived notions.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

Zhang Liang mistakenly attacking the wrong carriage warns against acting with insufficient information. Pause accusations, investments, or breakups made in haste. Confirm the person, the source, and a third-party view to avoid striking the wrong target.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice

Pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva for caution that avoids a reckless strike. Ask for a heart that can wait for reliable facts even amid anger or haste.
