Misfortune

旧愆何日解

戸内保嬋娟

要逢十一口

遇鼠過牛辺

In English

  • When will the old wrong be undone?
  • within your door, protect the one you cherish
  • you need to meet the sign of eleven and mouth
  • passing the rat, going by the ox
Meaning
Put eleven above a mouth and you get the character for luck; let the hours pass from the rat to the ox and the trouble moves on. Misfortune here comes with its own way out, so protecting the one you cherish at home and waiting for time to do its work is enough.
What to do today
Say a word of thanks to someone you live with or a family member.
A word from the capybara
Watching the rat and the ox stroll by, in no hurry at all.
