Fortune

洗出経年否

光華得再清

所求終吉利

重日照前程

In English

  • Years of stagnation are washed away
  • and brightness becomes clear once more
  • what you seek ends in good fortune
  • a doubled sun lights the road ahead
Meaning
The image at the center is the doubled sun in the last line, light laid upon light along the road ahead. After years of being stuck have been washed away, picking up what you had set aside, a little at a time, is likely to lead where you hoped.
What to do today
Spend five minutes on a task you have left untouched for a while.
A word from the capybara
Being washed clean feels so good that a second bath sounds tempting.

The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
