紅輪西墜兔東升
陰長陽消是兩形
若是女人占此卦
增添福祿稱心情
The red wheel sinks west, the hare rises east.
Yin grows as yang fades, two shapes in turn.
If a woman draws this lot,
Blessing and fortune grow, to her heart's content.
What this lot says
The red wheel is the sun and the hare is the moon, in an old Chinese image. As one goes down the other comes up, and the verse reads this as a shift from strong, open force to quiet, receptive force.
The third line addresses women directly and speaks of growing good fortune. A modern reader of any gender can take it as favoring patience, care and influence exercised without display.
If you are deciding between pressing your case and building support behind the scenes, this lot leans toward the second. Notice which phase your situation is in, and act to suit it.
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
Wu Zetian takes the throne (武則天登位)
Wu Zetian rose from palace concubine to empress and, in 690, took the title of emperor and founded the Zhou dynasty. Her rise suits a lot whose third line speaks to women.
