Original text

Original Chinese verse

士农工商各从心

僧道得知无不利

日夜循环至古今

金乌西坠兔东升

Allusion

Cao Guojiu, one of the Eight Immortals, was the younger brother of Empress Dowager Cao of the Song dynasty. After shame over lawless conduct, he gave away his wealth to help the poor and entered Mount Zhongnan to cultivate the Way. There he met Zhongli Quan and Lu Dongbin, who led him into the ranks of the immortals. His symbol is the jade flute.

Translated verse

This lot shows the waxing and waning of yin and yang. Matters can go as wished.

Explanation

With no trouble in the heart, what is done has merit. Like an arrow on the bow, one release reaches the sky.

Reading the sign

The sun sets and the moon rises. Matters connected with the inner, hidden, receptive, or yin side begin to gain advantage.

Spiritual practice can obtain results. Work that satisfies the heart or serves inner needs is favored. The yin side, including women and inward cultivation, has strength.

By question

General Matters

The yin side begins to rise. Women, inner cultivation, service, lower positions, subtle work, and spiritual pursuits are favored more than force, status, or material chasing.

Love and Marriage

Love develops better when the woman is more active. Singles can meet someone. A liked person can be approached, current relationships go smoothly, and broken ones can reconcile.

Work, Job Search, and Business

Choose work connected with the yin side, such as female leadership, mental work, service, or work that satisfies inner feelings. Business prospers when service quality makes people feel cared for.

Exams, Competition, and Promotion

Competitions involving intelligence or inner quality are favorable. Promotion depends on strengthening inner qualities such as manners, cultivation, kindness, expertise, and learning.

Investment and Money

This is not strong for raw wealth seeking. To win in investment, strengthen inner steadiness and discipline.

Business Trade

Better service quality and customer happiness are the key to flourishing business.

Property

A deal becomes easier when the other side feels settled, confident, and at ease.

Health

Treat the heart first. When inner burdens are cleared, the body naturally improves.

Change and Transfer

If dissatisfied with the industry, do not rush to change. Improve inner performance and the current place can turn better.

Pregnancy and Children

Focus on improvement from the woman's side, including body care and more gentleness or initiative in the relationship.

Legal Matters

Lower your stance and respond softly. Avoid forceful words. A mild attitude reduces harm and may even bring victory.

Finding People or Things

The lost item is in a dark or hidden place.

Travel and Going Abroad

Eastern countries are favorable. Development related to inner work or service is better.
