Pine and Cypress in Winter
觀音靈籤第8签
The history behind Guan Yin lots →In the flourishing forest, pine and cypress thrive;
Rain and snow, wind and frost can do them no harm.
One day, all at once, they are called to great use —
Beams and pillars of the hall, crowned with accomplishment.
茂林松柏正兴旺
雨雪风霜总莫为
异日忽然成大用
功名成就栋梁材
Your path ahead is safe and smooth, bringing success in your career. Harvests are plentiful, and your family's standing and wealth both continue to grow.
A favourable lot of quiet resilience. Like evergreens that weather every season, a steady character remains unshaken by hardship and will in time be called to significant use. Effort ripens into abundance.

This is an auspicious year for you and your family, with a business deal that goes well and a successful marriage; a baby boy is expected. Farming goes well though livestock does not, and the traveler sends news soon. A missing person turns up on their own, lost items are found, and you recover from sickness in time.
Storms test what our practice has actually built. Every day of patience, virtue and steadiness is a ring of growth invisible from outside, yet it is exactly this that others will one day lean on. Rather than asking when your moment will come, ask: am I growing the kind of heartwood worth building with?
