a helpful person will guide you to good fortune.

The Story Behind the Lot · 典故

A Book Commends Jiang Wei

Jiang Wei, a wronged Wei officer, went over to Shu. Zhuge Liang saw his talent and, as he lay dying, entrusted him with his twenty-four chapters on strategy. Jiang Wei carried Shu for decades on that trust.

Guidance by topic
♡Love & Relationships

An introduction through friends or family leads somewhere good, even if the process is fussy.

◇Career & Study

A transfer or promotion through a recommendation. Change, if it comes, is upward.

◈Wealth & Business

Steady income; extra gains come through the right guide or information. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.

✚Health & Wellbeing

This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: a change of setting or a good specialist helps. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.

⌂Home & Family

Very good for moving house or renovation. Harmony at home.

➶Travel & Those Away

The traveller has not yet arrived.

◎Lost Items

Look to the east, high up or near wooden furniture.

⚖Disputes & Legal Matters

The ruling should favour you, though the other side may raise objections first. For binding disputes, a qualified adviser is wiser than any oracle.
