富貴由命天註定
心高必然誤君期
不然且回依舊路
雲開月出自分明
Wealth and nobility are determined by fate.A person's life, whether rich or noble, is all predetermined by fate.High aspirations will inevitably lead to disappointing others' expectations.If your expectations are too high or you are overly proud, these will be factors that cause you to miss opportunities for advancement.Otherwise, let's return to the old path.Otherwise, you should still follow the original route of development.The moon rises clearly as the clouds disperse.When the dark clouds disperse and the moon comes out, the moonlight will illuminate the surroundings.
A person's life will have a predetermined amount of glory and wealth. If one's expectations are too high and they continuously strive to achieve unattainable goals, they may end up missing out on the opportunities and prospects that rightfully belong to them. When there are obstacles to what one currently seeks, it is like clouds obscuring the moon, making it difficult to see the direction ahead. This is not conducive to making changes at the moment, so it is better to maintain the current state and refrain from taking action. Before waiting for opportunities to arise, one should first engage in self-reflection, self-correction, and self-improvement. When the opportunity comes, it will be like the moon emerging, illuminating the surroundings brightly, allowing you to clearly see the direction for the future.If you draw this fortune, you should pay special attention not to be arrogant, to avoid being unreasonable when you are right, or to set goals that are too high beyond your own capabilities. You need to assess your own conditions or situation and make self-adjustments, so that when opportunities arise, you won't miss your chance for success.
