Yuelao Shrine · Lot 1Excellent
红线牵来不用寻月中自有好音临两心若是长相惜白首同衾到如今
What it means: It is already close. Look after the person in front of you.
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
The connection is nearby — stop scanning the horizon. Hold the person in front of you in mind, offer a little more understanding and a little less testing. It can be settled this year; do not keep putting it off.
Yuelao's lots are mostly reassurance: do not hurry, and do not settle.
How to read this grade
Excellent is the highest of the four bands, and the rarest. It means the timing, the people around you and your own frame of mind all line up. It does not guarantee an outcome — it says this road has little resistance and is worth walking to the end.
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 Yuelao 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.
