The phrase "Dragon and tiger meeting" indicates a sense of mutual conflict. The matter in question regarding the divination must be related to this mutual struggle, as the discord has caused the originally desired outcome to lose its value (gold has turned into iron, becoming worthless). The root of the problem is something that the parties involved already know, so there is no need to trouble themselves by asking the deities.People often ask about relationships when seeking this fortune. The meaning of the fortune indicates that the personalities of the two individuals are incompatible, leading to a deterioration in the relationship. There are also inquiries about improving work relationships, which suggests that one needs to adjust their attitude towards dealing with others and not be overly assertive.
