Guests bring many benefits to the future.The arrival of guests symbolizes future development and the potential for profit.Why do you doubt each other?You must still be hesitating and guessing.Although it is a time of both progress and retreat.Although the process has only reached halfway, it encounters obstacles or hesitations.The translation of the quoted text is: "The moon rises, shining brightly at the right moment."When the moon rises and shines brightly, that is when your luck has arrived.

It is now the time to see results and gains. You need not doubt; although there are still some obstacles or hesitations regarding this matter, if you persist, you will see the clouds part and the moon, and your future will be bright.‘Guest arrival’ can be interpreted as the arrival of guests, those seeking divination, or the meaning of going to develop in a foreign place. ‘Moonrise’ is a sign that matters can be resolved; if it refers to timing, it is at ‘moonrise,’ which corresponds to the 15th day of the lunar month or the Mid-Autumn Festival.
