The Monk Tang Fetches the Scriptures唐僧取經
Restore your robe and cap, renew the old family way;
what seemed fruitless proves worthy after all.
Sweep away the thorns that block the road;
three come together and agree in harmony again.
English rendering: our editorial version.
A restoration after difficulty. Clear obstacles and rebuild agreement with others.

The Monk Tang Fetches the Scriptures
The monk Xuanzang travelled alone from Chang'an to India, across deserts and snow mountains, for seventeen years, and brought home the scriptures he sought. He translated them for the rest of his life.
Not hopeless. Revisit or nurture what exists with patience.
Restore old relationships or projects; teamwork pays.
This lot invites care with money: trade goes well through honest channels and old clients. Avoid chasing windfalls. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: familiar or traditional care works best; relax. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.
Clutter and minor chaos; tidy and mend relations with elders.
Long journeys succeed in the end. Those away return with something gained.
Found eventually, though not at once.
This lot invites patience with disputes: firm evidence; hold to what is right. For binding disputes, a qualified adviser is wiser than any oracle.
