The history behind Guan Yin lots →

Straighten robe and cap, restore the old family way;
Though the road seems endless, merit is already won.
Sweep the thorns and briars from the path ahead —
When three agree as one, harmony returns.

衣冠重整旧家风 道是无穷却有功
扫却当途荆棘刺 三人约议再和同

Doubt and worry accomplish nothing on their own. Wait for the right day, then move forward with confidence, since a wider path opens ahead.

This lot describes a season of rebuilding. Things go hard before they go easy, and effort spent clearing obstacles is not wasted. It favors honest cooperation: working with others makes the way smooth.

Home life feels unsettled right now, but the year ahead is favorable and wealth is within reach. A business deal goes smoothly, though marriage runs into obstacles and pregnancy carries a scare worth watching for. A traveler arrives safely, livestock ventures do well while farming takes a loss, and a missing person turns up on their own. A lost item surfaces later, a lawsuit reaches a fair outcome, and house moves go about as expected. Pray for good health, and leave the ancestral graves as they are.

Renewal rarely arrives all at once. It comes from silently tidying what has fallen into disorder: a habit, a relationship, a duty we let slide. The thorniest stretches of the path are seldom meant to be cleared alone. Is there someone whose help you could humbly ask for, or a shared task where agreeing together matters more than being right? Start with one small repair this week.
