金烏西墜兔東昇日夜循環至古今僧道得知無不利士農工商各從心

The golden sun sets in the west, the moon rises in the east;
day and night circle on, from ancient times to now.
Monks and Taoists who know this find no obstacle;
scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants follow their hearts.

Life moves in natural cycles. Flow with the rhythm and follow your true heart.

The Story Behind the Lot · 典故

Royal Uncle Cao Becomes an Immortal

Cao Yi, brother of a Song empress, watched his younger brother abuse power. Rather than fight, he gave away his wealth, left the court, and was taught by Zhongli Quan and Lü Dongbin until he joined the Eight Immortals. He moved with the tide, not against it.

Guidance by topic
♡Love & Relationships

Harmony, like sun and moon taking turns. A good match is likely.

◇Career & Study

Go with your natural rhythm. A change of track to follow real interest is favoured; cut-throat competition is not.

◈Wealth & Business

Steady and smooth; restraint keeps it so. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.

✚Health & Wellbeing

This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: good, with regular routines and seasonal care. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.

⌂Home & Family

Peaceful; a good time for moving or repairs.

➶Travel & Those Away

Travellers come back safely. Journeys follow their natural rhythm.

◎Lost Items

Found a little later than you hope. Be patient.

⚖Disputes & Legal Matters

This lot invites patience with disputes: clear evidence and a fair judgement. Present the facts plainly. For binding disputes, a qualified adviser is wiser than any oracle.
