One Bow, Two Arrows
觀音靈籤第71签
The history behind Guan Yin lots →The dark dragon descends where nine roads cross,
A woman in her day was wed to two.
One bow was made to carry but one arrow —
Dragon and horse will find no peaceful rest.
认知苍龙下九衢
女子当年嫁二夫
自是一弓架两箭
欲恐龙马不安居
The outcome here rests with fate more than with effort. Hold to the rules and proper order, however hard the struggle becomes.
This lot points to trouble born of divided loyalties and mismatched pairings. A single bow strung with two arrows pulls in opposite directions, and the strain stays no matter how hard you fight it. Accept what cannot be changed yet, and once a way out appears, move with care. Harmony returns only when the mismatch itself is set right.

The household may suffer a loss, and you could get drawn into a dispute. Wealth comes only through hard, careful effort, and a business deal needs caution. Marriage prospects improve on a second match. A pregnancy falters at first but succeeds later. A traveler meets delays on the road, the harvest comes late, and livestock suffer losses. A missing person will be found, but a lawsuit will not go in your favor. Moving house goes smoothly. Illness calls for a prayer rite, and the ancestral grave should be adjusted.
When your heart is split between two commitments, neither one gets your full care, and unease follows you into everything you do. Rather than forcing both to work, ask where your energy actually belongs. A relationship, a project, a promise: something here deserves your whole bow, not half of it.
