Mistaking a Thief for a Son
觀音靈籤第41签
The history behind Guan Yin lots →Take these good words deeply to heart,
lest you mistake a thief for your own son.
Do not crave the sweetness right before you,
weigh the years and consequences yet to come.
无限好言君记取
却为认贼将作子
莫贪眼下有些甜
更虑他年前样思
One wrong choice here can bring lasting regret. Keep this counsel in mind, and you will spare yourself that regret later.
This lot warns against being deceived by flattering words or surface charm, and against mistaking harm for benefit. It cautions that short-term gains can sow long-term regret.

Family matters feel heavy right now, though life overall stays stable. Wealth comes only with patience, so don't force the timing. This match isn't suited for marriage. A pregnancy will produce a boy, but watch for a scare along the way. A traveler reaches their destination safely, and a missing person turns up on their own. Settle a lawsuit through reconciliation rather than confrontation, and pray for blessings before moving house or when illness strikes.
A flattering voice does not always tell the truth. A sweet moment does not always serve you well later. Pause before letting flattery or short-term comfort steer a choice. Check whether something generous today might cost more tomorrow. Discernment matters here: look past the surface at what a choice will actually cost or bring, over time.
