Hongwu Tends the Cattle洪武看牛
Fish and dragons mix, with the same intention;
patiently wait in the deep pool for fortune to turn.
Unnoticed, one morning your head rises above the rest,
and with one leap you pass the Dragon Gate.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Your potential is hidden among the crowd. Wait patiently; your moment will come.
詩意：此卦魚龍未變之逸象。凡事待時至可也。
解曰：雖是滋基。也要待時。營謀自本。切莫妄為。
另本 Variant：魚龍混雜意和同，耐守寒潭未濟中，不覺一朝頭角聳，禹門一跳到天宮。

Slow to come together; take your time.
Avoid chasing promotion yet. Work quietly.
This lot invites care with money: income comes slowly. Regular earnings are safe; windfalls are not yet due. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: generally well; get proper advice for discomfort. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
A peaceful, ordinary household. Enjoy the calm.
Late. The traveller will arrive in time.
Look near where you lost it.
Slow and unclear for now. Be patient; it may take time to settle. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
