BY QUESTION
Question-based reading
General Matters
Basic conditions must be built first. If people act without grasping the essentials, plans fail and become chaotic.

Correct your own character first. Love improves when conduct is kind, caring, and considerate. If a relationship has failed through poor virtue and disharmony, forcing reunion may only create more noise.

Seek proper work and operate with a correct heart. Business must follow the right path and accord with principle, or troubles continue.

Investment and Money
Follow the rules of finance and investment, or things will not go smoothly.

Sell when it should be sold and buy when it should be bought. Irrational handling brings loss.
Health
Recovery requires following the principles of convalescence.
Change and Transfer
Failure comes from violating the rules of operation. Correcting that is the root solution.
Pregnancy and Children
Pregnancy requires following health-preserving principles. Violating them blocks the wish.
Legal Matters
If moral conduct has been violated, bad fortune arrives as consequence and cannot easily be escaped.
Finding People or Things
Carelessness caused the loss and an ill-intentioned person may have taken it, making return difficult.
Travel and Going Abroad
Distant development depends on ability. If strength is insufficient, staying put is better.
