Omikuji lot 6 of 100
Ghosts at House and Grave
末吉 Sue-kichi, Good fortune later
宅墓鬼凶多
人事有爻訛
傷財損失防
祈福始中和
At house and grave, many ghosts and ill omens.
Human affairs have gone astray.
Be on guard against damage and loss of goods.
Pray for blessing, and balance begins.
What this lot says
Ghosts and bad signs gather around both the dwelling and the family grave, while the dealings of the living go wrong. Loss of property is named as a thing to watch. Prayer comes last, and with it a beginning of balance. The word we give as astray is uncertain and may refer to an error in a divination figure.
The grade printed in the book is Sue-kichi, Good fortune later. Three lines of disturbance come before a single line of settling, and that order matches a grade that places the good at the far end.
In today's language, the verse describes a stretch when old matters and present ones seem tangled together. Where in your own affairs does something unfinished from the past keep showing up in the present?
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
No differences from the 1684 printing are recorded for this lot.
The grade in the 1684 printing is too faint to read.
