Misfortune
年乖数亦孤
久病未能蘇
岸危舟未登
竜臥失明珠
In English
- The year turns against you and you stand alone
- a long illness has not yet lifted
- the bank is unsafe and the boat not yet boarded
- the dragon lies down and loses its bright pearl
- Meaning
- Everything turns on the bright pearl that the resting dragon has lost in the last line. With the year against you and the riverbank unsafe, this is a stretch for quiet days rather than effort, at least until your strength comes back.
- What to do today
- Drop one item from your schedule and make time to rest early.
- A word from the capybara
- Even dragons have days off, so lying down for a while is allowed.
