Fortune No.9

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

勞君問我心中事,此意偏宜說向公,一片靈台明似鏡,恰如明月正當空
To answer the question of your mind, the key is to be principled, neutral, and selfless. When the mind is as clear as a mirror, all things become clear just as the full moon illuminates the sky.

Explanation

[Summary] If you keep your mind right, everything will go smoothly. If you learn and practice one thing thoroughly, you will have unshakable ability.
This lot means "miscellaneous non-precision". It is essential to master one rather than learn many. The reason why King Zhao Han ruled the world with half a dozen treatises is because he thoroughly delved into learning and put it into practice. It teaches us that we can acquire unshakable ability and judgment through solidification of the foundation, mastery of reason, and repetitive training.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

Like governing with half of the Analects, this is a time to master one thing deeply rather than many things shallowly. Choose one qualification, language, or specialty and build daily contact with it. In relationships, words from your own principles earn trust.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice

Pray to Wenchang Dijun to turn learning into usable wisdom. Do not only read; choose one thing to practice today when you pray.
