Original text

Original Chinese verse

宛如皎月正天心

一片明心光皎洁

此意偏宜说问公

烦君勿作私心事

Allusion

Zhuge Liang, styled Kongming, studied strategy, astronomy, divination, and military arts. Liu Bei visited him three times and invited him to serve as strategist. When Cao Cao’s general Xiahou Dun attacked, Kongming assigned troops and generals. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not convinced at first, but after the victory at Bowang Slope they accepted his judgment. He later became chancellor and was honored for loyalty and wisdom.

Translated verse

This lot shows a bright moon in the open sky. Matters are clear, fair, and able to move through.

Explanation

When the heart is upright, reason is smooth and the law is broad. The sacred word is not selfish, and the truth will become clear.

Reading the sign

Do not handle this matter with selfish intention. A fair word needs to be spoken.

Look back at yourself and ask whether your own heart is clear. When the heart is bright, the beginning and end of the matter can be seen.

By question

General Matters

Reflect on yourself and examine your own part. A good answer will come from clear self-awareness.

Love and Marriage

For love, first examine your own condition and whether the match is realistic. Pursuit may be possible, but a large gap in conditions should make you pause. Marriage requires ability, readiness, and true compatibility. If there was a breakup, admit your own fault and apologize before hoping for repair.

Work, Job Search, and Business

A job requires real skill. Career progress also depends on ability. For business, use the principles of the classics and act with integrity.

Exams, Competition, and Promotion

Strengthen your ability and you can rank well. If your conditions are good, promotion has its reason.

Investment and Money

Choose investments with sound fundamentals, and the odds improve.

Business Trade

Run business according to principled teachings, and profit can follow smoothly.

Property

Use market principles when buying, selling, or investing.

Health

Look inward, remove ignorance and inner distress, and healing may come without medicine.

Change and Transfer

Examine whether change is truly necessary.

Pregnancy and Children

If seeking a son, treat people with generosity and without selfishness.

Legal Matters

You also have fault in the dispute. Even if your argument has reason, self-reflection is needed.

Finding People or Things

Reflect clearly, and the person or item can be found.

Travel and Going Abroad

Before leaving, think clearly about why you are going and then act.
