BY QUESTION
Question-based reading
General Matters
This lot describes reunion after breakage. Lost things can be restored, separation can heal, and losses can turn back into gain.
Love and Marriage
Unmarried lovers may separate once and then reunite, eventually moving toward marriage. A divorced person drawing this lot may meet the chance to marry again.
A coming relationship is likely to involve someone already known, perhaps even a former lover, and autumn or winter may be important.
If you ask whether to date someone, you may proceed, but protect the relationship from a later split by being more tolerant and seeing from the other person’s side.
If you are already together, a breakup or trial may be part of the path. If it has already happened, the relationship may now be deeper and more cherished. Reconciliation after long separation is possible.
Work, Job Search, and Business
A job may be found, lost for some reason, and then regained with better performance. A venture may fail once, but the second rise brings stronger success.
Exams, Competition, and Promotion
There may be one failure first. Keep studying and trying, because the next chance can be yours. Promotion may not come this time, but future opportunity remains.
Investment and Money
Loss can turn into gain. Being trapped first may still lead to profit later. Autumn and winter are better times to enter.
Business Trade
Failure can turn into success. Loss can be followed by profit.
Property
For investment property, loss comes before gain. Delaying the transaction may be more favorable.
Health
Illness may rise and fall. Chronic illness calls for cultivation. If you lack strength for that, pray to the Bodhisattva for protection.
Change and Transfer
This change is part of the process, but you may later return to the original position.
Pregnancy and Children
Watch for miscarriage or early loss. Religious practice and protection prayers are advised.
Legal Matters
Winning still brings loss, and losing is worse. Mutual settlement benefits both sides.
Finding People or Things
What was lost can be found again.
Travel and Going Abroad
One may go out and later return.
