Traditional fortune label: Very Auspicious
Lot poem
Dry wood meeting spring shoots forth anew, Flowers bloom, leaves flourish, and butterflies visit frequently. In Peach Blossom Spring, a thousand reds and purples contend in beauty, As a single fishing boat accidentally enters the ferry.
Story and textual notes
The Peach Spring refers to the 'Peach Blossom Spring' described by Tao Yuanming of the Jin Dynasty. Legend has it that Wang Daozhen, a person of destiny, also drifted with the current and reached the Peach Spring by chance. There, he saw a group of descendants of the pre-Qin period who had fled from war, living happily and free from worries in a realm where a hundred flowers competed in beauty, thousands of reds and purples bloomed, flowers were fragrant, butterflies danced, and dry wood met spring.

Therefore, there is no need to deliberately force beautiful prospects: let things take their natural course and do your best, and you will instead reap unexpected rewards. Dry wood buds anew upon encountering spring; fragrant flowers and lush leaves attract butterflies frequently.
