GUANYIN ORACLE LOT 76
Hongwu Tends Cattle
The matter is not mature yet. Patiently guard and wait; it can succeed.
ORACLE VERSE
Translated verse
Fish and dragons are mixed together, their meaning unclear.
Keep patiently to the deep pool and wait for fortune to open.
Unexpectedly one morning the head rises high.
A leap through Yu's Gate passes into the dragon palace.
Original Chinese verse
鱼龙混杂意相同，耐守深潭待运通； 不觉一朝头耸出，禹门一跳过龙宫。
ALLUSION
Story allusion
Hongwu refers to Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Ming dynasty. As a child he was poor and tended cattle. He later became a monk, begged for food, joined a peasant uprising, defeated Yuan forces, and founded Ming. The story means that heroes need not come from noble origins.
Poem meaning
This lot shows the fish-dragon not yet transformed. In all matters, wait until the time arrives.
Original reading
Although there is a foundation, the time must still be awaited. Manage plans from the root and do not act rashly.
READING
Overall reading
It is unclear whether the matter is still an ordinary fish or already a powerful dragon.
Stay at your current post and wait. When the chance suddenly comes, you can show yourself.
BY QUESTION
Question-based reading
General Matters
