靈雞漸漸見分明
凡事且看子丑寅
雲開月出照天下
郎君即便見太平
The spirit chicken gradually becomes clear.Hearing the rooster crow means that it is gradually getting light.Everything should be considered according to the time and circumstances.No matter what happens, a result can appear during the hours of Zi, Chou, or Yin.The moon rises as the clouds part, illuminating the world.The clouds have dispersed, and the moon shines over the world.The translation of the quoted text is: "Even if the lord sees peace."You can be safe and sound.
When the rooster crows, it is the time just before dawn. Although the matters you are inquiring about now are unclear, like the darkness before dawn, and dim like the moon obscured by clouds, once the right moment (Zi, Chou, Yin) arrives, it will be as if the haze has cleared and the moon shines brightly, illuminating the world. The outcome will manifest. Since the result is "seeing peace," it signifies safety and tranquility.If you ask whether hard work is needed for exams, you can pass, but the grades may not be very high.When it comes to the timing of matters, if the characters Zi, Chou, and Yin are close, they can be interpreted as months, which are mostly the eleventh, twelfth, and first months of the lunar calendar. There are also cases that correspond to January, February, and March of the Gregorian calendar, and they can be interpreted as the years of the Rat, Ox, and Tiger when considered from a distance.The "spiritual chicken" in the fortune-telling poem can be seen as an opportunity or a benefactor. If it represents a benefactor, you may want to pay attention to people around you who belong to the rooster zodiac, as they might be your benefactor.
