Jade Hidden in the Dust
觀音靈籤第16签
The history behind Guan Yin lots →Furrowed brows and heavy thoughts soon unknot;
Beyond the parting clouds, joy arrives of itself.
Like a piece of jade concealed in the mire,
A skilled hand lifts it shining from the dust.
愁眉思虑暂时开
启出云霄喜自来
宛如粪土中藏玉
良工荐举出尘埃
What you have gained stays with you, and any loss is made up elsewhere. Wrongdoing brings misfortune, while integrity brings good luck.
This lot signals worry lifting and hidden worth coming to light: like jade buried in dirt, your qualities are waiting for the person or moment that reveals them, and apparent losses carry quiet gains within them.

Prospects for your family look gloomy at first, but autumn and winter bring smoother going. Business deals succeed and money matters work out, and marriage is successful, though pregnancy may bring a scare. The traveler has already arrived, farming needs prayer for blessing, and livestock prospects are ordinary. A missing person will be found, but lost items are hard to trace, and the lawsuit runs at a disadvantage. Better not to move house; do good deeds and pray for health, and the ancestral graves rest in peace.
Feeling overlooked is painful, but value does not vanish just because it goes unseen. Keep polishing the jade: your integrity, skill and kindness. Consider being that discerning craftsman for someone else as well. Whose hidden goodness could you name aloud this week?
