Fortune

残月未還光

樽前非語傷

戸中有人厄

祈福保青陽

In English

  • The fading moon has not regained its light
  • before the wine cask, careless words wound
  • within the house someone faces trouble
  • pray for blessings and keep the spring light
Meaning
Fortune with some shadows: the fading moon has not regained its light, and careless words over wine leave a sting. With trouble touching someone at home as well, gentle words and quiet patience seem to serve better than bold steps.
What to do today
At gatherings, spend a little more time listening than talking.
A word from the capybara
At lively parties, a quiet spot in the corner feels just right.

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