The verse
到處生財人莫知何須奢望遠求之一兩黃金四兩福無如命運本參差
In English
Wealth can be made everywhere, though people do not know it.Why hope extravagantly and seek it far away?One tael of gold and four taels of blessing,Yet fate itself is uneven.
The twelve aspects
A temple slip does not give one answer. The same four lines are read differently depending on what you came to ask about, and these are the twelve readings traditionally set down for this sign.
- Career and Recognition
- Recognition is hard to achieve; vain hope is wasted labor.
- Business
- There is gain and loss; what can be said of fate?
- Pregnancy and Children
- When blessing arrives, the heart is at peace; remaining joyful helps.
- Health
- Stinginess over wealth may endanger life.
- Marriage
- The two sides have no affinity; forced union brings trouble.
- Travel
- Success can be reached at home; no need to travel far.
- Household
- Act when you see the opening; joy can avoid worry.
- Wealth
- Money comes into the front hand; later seeking is empty.
- Current Fortune
- Fortune has not arrived; seeking is useless.
- Lost Item
- The item was meant to be lost; no need to see it again.
- Farming
- Chickens, dogs, mulberry, and hemp all bring no harvest.
- Legal Matters
- The year clashes and restrains; official trouble and disputes arise.
