Fortune No.97
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
園林月色搖疎影,恍若鋪成滿地瓊,幾度兒童來收拾,豈知收拾總無成
The moonlight in the garden forest shimmers the sparse shadows, as if in a trance, the jewel of the earth is paved with jewels. The children came again and again to try to settle the situation, but even when they did, nothing was accomplished.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
富貴在天,貧窮由命,不用機謀,皆有分定。此籤虛名薄利之象,凡事不宜貪求。
Riches and riches are in heaven, poverty and poverty are in life. Do not use wiles, but all have their share. This lot is an elephant of false name and light profit, and ordinary things should not be greedy. According to the words of the sacred lot, this lot is an elephant of false name and light profit, and all things must not be greedily sought after. The poem says, "You are so ecstatic that you are able to create a jewel in the earth. How can you know that you will not be able to do everything you want to do? If you don't act quickly, there will be an uncontrollable commotion. A Japanese language will be spreading in all directions, and you will be stuck in a loop. How many of you know this predicament? I say, know that your current fortune is in heaven for riches, and in life for poverty. Even if you don't use your wits, you all have your own destinies.

Explanation
[Summary] Control your desires. If you know what is enough and live a reasonable life, your mind will be at peace.
This lot has the meaning of "greed and endlessness". It admonishes the person concerned not to covet too much in all things. In the things around us, we should maintain equilibrium and only need to have enough. Do not gain a little and advance a measure, and do not allow your desires to expand endlessly and without limit. Greed for more, speed, and haste are all bad. They do not help and even have the opposite effect. Always check your desires and make a promise. Knowing what is enough is always pleasant.
Practical Advice for Modern Life
Deng Tong prospering through copper coins says that even with money luck, desire must be controlled. When profit appears, organize taxes, savings, repayment, and explanations to family. Do not buy simply because you can; choose uses that create lasting ease.
