漸漸看此月中和
過後須防未得高
改變顏色前途去
凡事必定見重勞
Gradually seeing this harmonious moon.The moon is gradually changing, and by the middle of the month, a full moon can be seen.Afterwards, one must guard against not achieving greatness.However, after the middle of the month, the moon transitions from full to waning, so one should be cautious of the losses that come from being overly satisfied with oneself and having an arrogant attitude.Change the color of the future.Self-reflection and properly adjusting oneself are necessary to embrace a bright future (making a sour face won't do).Everything requires hard work.If you don't make an effort to change and continue as you are, then your efforts will surely be in vain.
The phases of the moon are a fixed principle, and people are the same. Pride and complacency can lead to failure, so when seeking this oracle, one must pay attention to their words and actions, and treat others with humility in order to avoid losing their current achievements. If one does not know how to correct themselves, the future will be filled with hard work and effort without any results.This fortune indicates that a good opportunity is coming, but in the future, one can no longer rely on luck to get things done. The person involved must work hard to reverse the current decline; if they continue with their current approach, it will be in vain.
