Misfortune
家道未能昌
危危保禍殃
暗雲侵月桂
佳人一炷香
In English
- The household has not yet begun to prosper
- and holds on, precariously, against misfortune
- dark clouds creep over the laurel of the moon
- a fair one offers a single stick of incense
- Meaning
- The first half shows a household getting by on thin ice; the second, dark clouds over the moon while someone lights incense. Misfortune here leaves the wider world beyond your control, yet tending to what is close at hand and keeping a calm heart are still within reach.
- What to do today
- Tidy one corner of your home that has been bothering you.
- A word from the capybara
- On a cloudy night, heading to bed a little early is the best plan.
