Omikuji lot 21 of 100
A Second Sun Ahead
吉 Kichi, Good fortune
洗出經年否
光華得再清
所求終吉利
重日照前程
Washed clean of years of obstruction,
the brightness is clear once more.
What is sought ends well.
A second sun lights the road ahead.
What this lot says
Something blocked for years has been rinsed away, and a shine returns to it. The third line states plainly that the thing sought comes out well. Then a doubled sun stands over the way forward.
On the page as the book prints it, the grade is Kichi, Good fortune. Washing and light carry the whole verse, and the two suns at the end make the brightness hard to miss.
For someone reading this now, the verse might call up the relief after a long logjam clears. What became visible in your own affairs once the blockage was gone?
A lot is a prompt for reflection. It cannot promise a result, and it is no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.
The printed text
