Great fortune
旧用多成破
新更始見財
政求雲外望
枯木遇春開
In English
- Old ways have mostly fallen apart
- only by starting anew does wealth appear
- seek hopes that reach beyond the clouds
- a withered tree meets spring and blossoms
- Meaning
- Old ways fall apart in the opening lines, and a bare tree blossoms with the spring in the closing ones. Even with Great fortune, the growth belongs to what you start fresh, so this is a moment for bold change rather than patching up the past.
- What to do today
- Change one small habit and notice what feels different.
- A word from the capybara
- Buds can sprout from a branch that looked dead, so maybe hold off on throwing it out.
