Guan Yin - Lot 16

Lot 16

Don’t wear a mournful face with drooping eyes. Put aside all cares and think of joy. A piece of jade is found in a heap of dung. The craftsman cleans the jade and it gleams as new.

This lot depicts the phenomenon of harmony of yin and yang. (Note: In the Chinese Book of Changes, the character ‘yin’ means the female principle, also means ‘moon’, ‘shade’ and ‘negative’ and the character ‘yang’ means the male principle, also means ‘sun’, ‘light’ and ‘positive’. When the two principles are in harmony, as in this lot, your plans will work out successfully.) What you have gained will not be lost and for what you have lost will be compensated. A villain will experience misfortune as punishment but the virtuous man will be rewarded with good luck. It is an unfavorable year for the safety of your home but you yourself will not be harmed only during the autumn and winter. Money matters will work out successfully so will matrimony. An expectant mother will have a shock. You must pray for your cattle and silkworm but nothing will go wrong with your domestic animals. Tie visitor will arrive in time and the missing will be found. You will find no clues as to the whereabouts of the things lost. You are advised not to go to law not to migrate. The sick needs prayers to god. No harm will come to the ancestral graves.
