Tenth Lot: Great Fortune

A woodcut illustration depicts a figure standing under a tree, gesturing towards a distant mountain or landscape, with a smaller figure seated nearby.

Use of alarm leads to many breaks,
Only after the change will you see wealth.
Politics and desires look beyond the clouds,
The withered tree meets spring and blooms.

Like a sudden rain that clears to reveal the moonlight.
Like being caught in an autumn breeze.
Like the rising of the morning sun.
The suffering you have known until now
will fade away.
The seeds of joy
are clearly visible.
Those who receive this lot
will see the winter tree
met by the spring wind,
causing it to bloom.
All matters of joy
will proceed as you wish.
However,
those in business
must be very careful
to discern the turning point
of their trade.
In all things,
good events
will accumulate.
Bad things
will pass away.

Eleventh Lot: Great Fortune

Possessing rank, the family business prospers,
Cultural achievements reach the imperial capital.
In the clouds, you ride a lucky arrow,
And receive the aid of a noble person.
