天開地闢結良緣
日吉時良萬事全
若得此籤非小可
人行中正帝王宣
Heaven and earth open, and a good bond is formed.
The day is lucky, the hour is right, and all is whole.
To draw this lot is no small thing.
Walk straight and true, and the emperor will call for you.
What this lot says
This is a lot about beginnings. The verse opens at the moment heaven and earth separate, when everything is still possible, and it says the timing is good.
It also sets a condition. Only the last line tells you what to do, which is to walk straight and true. The reward it describes, being called on by the emperor, goes to someone whose conduct has earned it.
If your question is about a new job, partnership or project, tradition reads this as a good moment to begin, as long as you act honestly and in plain view. Today the emperor can stand for anyone with the power to open a door for you.
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The story behind it
Zhongli Quan attains the Way (鍾離成道)
In legend, Zhongli Quan was a Han dynasty general who left military life after a defeat, studied with a hermit in the mountains and became one of the Eight Immortals. The story suits a lot about a new beginning that comes through a change of course.
