The history behind Guan Yin lots →The golden crow sinks west, the jade rabbit climbs the east;
Day and night have wheeled since ancient times.
Seekers who know this meet with no misfortune;
Scholar, farmer, craftsman, merchant — each follows the heart's wish.
金乌西坠兔东升
日夜循环至古今
僧道得知无不利
士农工商各从心
Keep a calm, open heart and what you work toward will be achieved, the way an arrow released from a full draw flies clean through its target.
This lot points to living in accord with the natural rhythm of things: with an open, untroubled heart, do the work that is yours to do, and success follows of itself, like an arrow released from a drawn bow.

Family life is peaceful this year, and wealth is within reach, with business deals turning out well. Marriage is compatible, and a baby boy is likely. The traveler has already arrived, early farming is favored, though livestock prospects are weak. A missing person will turn up on their own, and lost items will soon appear. Lawsuits resolve reasonably, moving house goes smoothly, the sick should pray to clear away misfortune, and ancestral graves are very auspicious.
So much of our strain comes from fighting the rhythm of life: wanting day without night, gain without loss. The Dharma invites us to give our honest effort and then trust the process, the way a farmer trusts the seasons. What task in front of you today deserves wholehearted, unanxious attention?
