Earth God Shrine · Lot 7Poor
家中口舌近期多莫把火星吹成河沉默三分金不换免得平地起风波
What it means: Watch for quarrels at home. Hold your tongue.
The verse is kept in Chinese. It is a four-line regulated poem — rhyme and metre are part of the thing itself, and they do not survive translation. The reading below is written in English.
The reading
There is more snapping than usual just now, and one sentence less prevents one whole scene. Swallow three parts of it; do not blow a spark into a river.
The Earth God looks after one patch of ground. His lots always come back to harmony.
How to read this grade
Poor describes the present, not your fate. Its use is to tell you to pull back a little, stop adding to the position, and move again when the conditions have changed.
All eighty lots are lines written for Hanlu Temple. They are here to help you put a question into words — no promise, and no medical, financial or legal advice.
Draw this lot in the hall
Walk to the Earth God Shrine, sit down on a cushion and put your palms together. The tube of lots stands by the altar. A lot you drew in the same hall on the same day is remembered, so you can come back and read it again.
