Original Chinese
What it says about…
- Overall luck
- A harder time, like clouds still over the moon. You may not know everything yet. Think one step further and ask one more person.
- Love
- Things feel a bit stuck. Look at your own heart first, and if you both want to, adjust together slowly.
- Business
- Not the time to start something new. If you're already running a business, review your layout and costs.
- Work
- At your current job, compare it with the new offer. If this stick is for the new one, keep looking.
- Buying a home
- No rush; there's more you haven't seen. Ask about ownership and condition.
- Health
- Mind your stomach and gut, and eat on time. Rest when you're tired.
- Exams
- A hard round. Work through what you don't understand, one question at a time. If you don't pass, go have a good meal.
- Legal disputes
- Not favorable, and there may be things you can't see. Prepare your papers and let a professional make your case.
- Family
- There may be small fights over money. Take turns. One talks, one listens.
