Fortune

久困漸能安

雲書降印権

残花終結実

時亨禄自遷

In English

  • After long hardship, calm slowly returns
  • a letter from the clouds brings a seal of office
  • the last remaining blossoms bear fruit at last
  • the times flow well, and rewards move your way
Meaning
Everything turns on the last blossoms of the third line, the ones left on the branch that finally bear fruit. After a long hard stretch, news arrives from above the clouds and the times flow well, so starting to move again, bit by bit, looks fine.
What to do today
When a long-running task wraps up, make a favorite drink and take your time with it.
A word from the capybara
Waiting under the tree, unhurried, for the blossoms to turn into fruit.

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