Great fortune

一信向天飛

秦川舟自帰

前途成好事

応得貴人推

In English

  • A single letter flies toward the sky
  • on the far river the boat comes home on its own
  • the road ahead brings good things to pass
  • and a worthy person will push you forward
Meaning
The key image is the single letter flying toward the sky in the first line. A boat comes home by itself from a far river and a worthy person pushes you forward, so when the news you have waited for arrives, it is fine to move.
What to do today
Get in touch with someone whose reply you are waiting for, adding a short update.
A word from the capybara
If boats come home by themselves, waiting on the shore is easy.
