Ma Zu Oracle No. 34
Cao Cao Meets Ma Chao at Tong Pass
只要遇到正义君子，那你就可以旺发了。有的人在工作上，勤奋务实，老实经营，能力又强，但是可能得不到应有的回报，若属于这种情形，那你需要遇到正义公平之人，你才能得到升迁或赏赐。若问爱情，那你需要有眼光的人，对方才会赏赐你。若问生意，那你需要选择一个公平的市场，你才有利可图。若问官司，那你需要遇到公平正义的法官，而后能得到应有的结果。若问考试、竞赛，那你需要一个制度公平，评审公正的环境，而得以发挥。总结，若你所在的环境不是这种公平、高尚的环境，那就对你不利，因此，你在选择人或事时，应该考虑它的背景，而决定进退。另外，此签也代表，你有了上述的环境之后，自己要以「兰桂」的精神来经营，那就能麻雀变凤凰了。
