失意番成得意時龍吟虎嘯兩相宜青天自有通霄路許我功名再有期

Disappointment turns into a time of fulfilment;
dragon's song and tiger's roar suit each other.
The blue sky has its own road to the clouds;
success is promised to you again in time.

The Story Behind the Lot · 典故

Liu Bei Takes a Bride

After the battle of Red Cliffs, Sun Quan tried to lure Liu Bei with a false offer of his sister's hand. Zhuge Liang turned the plot around: the Queen Mother met Liu Bei at Ganlu temple, liked him, and insisted on the wedding. The trap became a true marriage.

Guidance by topic
♡Love & Relationships

A hopeful path, whatever the twists on the way.

◇Career & Study

A tough task or tough competition becomes your stepping stone.

◈Wealth & Business

Small, steady gains. Avoid grasping for quick wins. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.

✚Health & Wellbeing

This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: fine with prompt care. Try not to let worry run ahead of the facts. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.

⌂Home & Family

Some fuss and distraction at home, nothing serious. Keep the harmony.

➶Travel & Those Away

Will return. A trip for a family occasion goes well.

◎Lost Items

Will turn up; clues appear.

⚖Disputes & Legal Matters

This lot invites patience with disputes: the other side gives way; a settlement works for both. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
