Yuelao Shrine · Lot 7Poor

错把萍聚当鸳盟流水无情花有情及早回头寻旧岸免教孤枕到天明

What it means: Probably not the right match. Look again, calmly.

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.

All Poor lots

The reading

This one is likely not a good pairing — the excitement is mostly illusion. Gather yourself early and do not treat an old attachment as a lifeline. Only after you turn around does the right person appear.

Yuelao's lots are mostly reassurance: do not hurry, and do not settle.

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 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.
