Fortune

枯木逢春艶

芳菲再発林

雲間方見月

前遇貴人欽

In English

  • A bare tree meets spring and turns lovely
  • fragrant blossoms fill the woods again
  • through a gap in the clouds the moon appears
  • going forward, you meet a respected person
Meaning
Keep walking forward, the poem says, and you will meet someone respected who is glad to see you. A bare tree blooms again and the moon shows through the clouds, which suggests that holding on through a slow stretch is what brightens the road.
What to do today
Send a short note of thanks to someone who has helped you.
A word from the capybara
The woods smell of flowers, so a stroll over there sounds right.

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