Great fortune

深山多養道

忠正帝王宣

鳳遂鸞飛去

昇高過九天

In English

  • Deep in the mountains, the way is nurtured
  • loyal and upright, the ruler proclaims it
  • and at last the phoenix flies off with its mate
  • rising high beyond the ninth heaven
Meaning
Under Great fortune, quiet years of practice deep in the mountains are finally recognized from above. At last the phoenix flies off with its mate and climbs past the ninth heaven, which suggests bringing what you have built into the open.
What to do today
Show someone one thing you have been working on steadily.
A word from the capybara
Birds fly so high that looking up at them makes the neck tired.
