Guan Di Fortune Sticks · Lot 93
The Ninety-Third Lot: Gui-Bing
Traditional fortune label: Good Fortune
Lot poem
The spring rain has been all too continuous, Entering summer, it dries up and rain fails to fall. Only when the solar terms transition into the Mid-Summer Heat, Are we delighted to meet torrential rain that nourishes the fields.
Story and textual notes
'Continuous spring rain' indicates stability in the first three months of the year. 'Summer dryness' indicates lack of benefit in the fourth and fifth months. 'Sanfu' (Three Dog Days): the third Geng day after the Summer Solstice is the first phase, the fourth Geng day is the middle phase, and the first Geng day after the Start of Autumn is the final phase. 'Delighted to meet torrential rain' means those hoping for rain will have sweet rain in abundance at this time, and those planning matters will find opportunities falling into place. This corresponds to Geng days and the turn of the sixth and seventh months. Although there are many conflicts and setbacks, there will ultimately be achievements.
Interpretation
Spring is the beginning of the year, but continuous spring rain falls without stopping. When summer arrives, it becomes dry and rainless, which is truly unfortunate. The seeds sown in spring cannot grow fully due to excessive rain. During the summer growth period, when more rain is needed, it becomes droughty instead, which will inevitably affect this year's harvest. Fortunately, when midsummer arrives and the solar term transitions, a torrential downpour falls, like sweet rain after a long drought, which is sufficient to nourish the dried crops and resolve the crisis.
Traditional summary
Wealth: accumulates and disperses. Illness: fluctuates. To seek peace: wait for the Mid-Summer Heat. Affairs: advance and retreat, it is suitable to cultivate blessings. Marriage: can be accomplished, be cautious of back-and-forth negotiations.
