Thirty-Sixth Unfulfilled Fortune

Thirty-Seventh Unfulfilled Fortune

Illustration on the right page showing a figure seated indoors looking out at a moonlit scene with a rabbit.

Loss comes first, then there is gain,
Like the moon's remaining eclipse.
The jade rabbit the moon waits for rebirth,
Its brilliant light will fill the room.

Illustration on the left page showing an archer aiming at a bird in the sky.

The clouds are deep, unable to pass,
Seeking fame, you have not yet met it.
Fortunately, there must be a change,
One arrow strikes the pair of geese.

○ This lot is about the light of the moon: even if it is faint now, it will brighten in the end. You should not bear resentment toward others.
