【Fate】 Lowest Sign 【Palace】 Dragon Palace (Chen Palace)
【Oracle Words】 This is the image of thunder awakening all insects, indicating good omens with the help of a benefactor in all matters.
【Explanation】 When thunder awakens, it brings changes and possibilities. A sudden transformation will lead to the gates of heaven.
【Spiritual Insight】 This sign is for praying for blessings in the home, ordinary life for oneself, spring profits for wealth, favorable people for transactions, successful marriage, male child for pregnancy, arrival of a traveler, early growth of silkworms, spring profits for livestock, finding a missing person, victory in litigation, auspicious relocation, perilous illness, and favorable burial site.
【Interpretation】 The reason for taking a bee is to obtain its honey, but one still fears being stung by its tail. Even if there seems to be another way forward, there are still hidden thorns. Matters must be handled carefully and not forcefully, like a bee collecting honey. This sign tells the disciple that things must be handled carefully and not forcefully, like a bee collecting honey. Afterward, everything will be as desired, which is due to the accumulated virtue of ancestors. If one proceeds according to reason, the benefits will multiply, and the heavens will reward accordingly. It is an image of initial hardship followed by sweetness. One must be patient; otherwise, success will not be achieved. Through patience, there will be a time when misfortune turns into good fortune. This sign has the meaning of "living under someone else's roof," implying that for the individual, patience leads to good fortune. We often feel the frustration of being unable to express our aspirations or having to compromise with certain situations. However, as the saying goes, "If the mountain does not turn, the path will turn; if the path does not turn, the person will turn." Often, just changing perspectives or thinking in reverse can change one's mindset. In a restricted real environment where major changes are not allowed, it is better to endure temporarily and avoid making hasty and impulsive decisions. Maintain a positive and relaxed mood rather than being easily influenced by the environment or people. Stick to your position and do your part well, and believe that there will be a time of turning around.
【Historical Story】 After Emperor Zhou Shizong's death, his seven-year-old son ascended the throne, and his mother, Empress Fu, controlled the government. Zhao Kuangyin was the current official, and many of his close associates and brothers wanted to rebel and seize power. On the first day of the new year, Kuangyin led his army to Chenqiao Inn for accommodation. That night, some generals staged a coup, declaring Zhao Kuangyin as emperor and placing a yellow robe on him, shouting "Long live the emperor." After being crowned, he immediately returned to Kaifeng and became emperor, renaming the country as Song, known as the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty ruled for 320 years in history.

Cooling Moon Interpretation
For All Matters
There are dangers and reversals in all affairs, like trying to get honey from a bee, always risking being stung. Wanting to gain benefits from others might result in being stung. Although there are other ways, one must still be cautious of the thorns. When facing difficulties, being good at handling relationships can resolve them. Alternatively, improving professional skills or perseverance can also help you overcome challenges and rise above.
Love and Marriage
For singles seeking a match, love should be stable. First, practice the Iron Body Shirt, avoiding the bee's sting. Can the lover pursue? Love is a test, but be cautious of obstacles or unexpected twists. After long-term dating, can they become a phoenix? There may be external interference, and the process may have difficulties. If the love has ended, there may be hope for reconciliation, but the hardships are not over yet. I advise you to stop pursuing. For married couples asking about the future, there may be verbal conflicts now, but the future remains difficult, and life is a challenge. Marriage has difficulties; wanting to change partners, but the thorns remain endless. If this love sign is obtained, the difficulties are karmic obstacles. Uphold precepts, cultivate virtue, and repent to improve.
Work and Job Hunting
Entrepreneurship and Career
Asking about job prospects, there are risks along the way. Be careful of exploitation and falling into traps. Asking about work fate, there are difficulties on the road.

Change and Adjustment
Unsmooth desires for change, taking risks for profit, always wanting to go elsewhere, and even after changing, it remains the same.
Seeking Pregnancy and Children
There may be no chance of childbirth, and pregnancy may end in miscarriage. There may be anxiety during pregnancy, so pray to the Buddha to eliminate karmic obstacles.
Lawsuits and Litigation
Asking about the outcome of a lawsuit, the case is unclear. Although other means are sought, there will still be damage.
Searching for People and Things
Wanting to recover lost items, it takes a lot of effort. Even if the lost item is found, it may be damaged.

Story of the Oracle Poem One
◇ Wang Mang's Search for Virtuous People
The Wang family during the Western Han Dynasty was a noble family. Although his father died early, his uncles and cousins held high positions during Emperor Cheng's reign, becoming generals and ministers, and receiving titles and rewards. The Wang family was extremely prominent.
However, Wang Mang's own family was extremely poor; his father died early, and he lived with his mother, relying on the support of relatives. But because of this, Wang Mang developed a set of social skills from a young age. No matter how sad or angry he felt, he always appeared cheerful and calm in front of elders or outsiders, thus gaining the appreciation of the clan members.
Once, when his eldest uncle was seriously ill, Wang Mang rushed to his bedside, served medicine and water, and stayed up nights, caring for him for several months without taking off his clothes or combing his hair, looking very exhausted, almost more like a patient than the patient himself, more like a son than a biological son. The entire clan praised him, and many wrote petitions to request rewards for him.
As a result, Emperor Cheng granted him the title of New Capital Marquis and appointed him as a palace guard, making him a close minister to the emperor. With higher status and greater power, Wang Mang never showed any arrogance or laziness, but instead became more humble and polite. He widely made connections with officials, generals, scholars, and also helped the poor and gave generously.
However, he lived very simply, often eating simple meals and not wearing formal robes, only dressing in short clothes. Thus, both the court and the people unanimously praised him as a "virtuous" person.
Later, his uncle, Grand General Wang Gen, died, and on his deathbed, he recommended Wang Mang to take his place. The emperor and officials all believed that Wang Mang was the most suitable. Thus, at only thirty-eight years old, Wang Mang became the Grand General in charge of the highest military power in the country.
(This story illustrates that being good at handling relationships can help one escape the "bee sting" and achieve one's goals.)
Story of the Oracle Poem Two
◇ Liu Zhiyuan's Milling Room
Liu Zhiyuan (or Liu Zhixuan) was born Liu Hao. He was from Shada Village in Pei County during the Five Dynasties period.
He lost his father at a young age and followed his mother to remarry, but was expelled from his stepfather's home, living in a desolate temple. Later, he was taken in by a wealthy family in the village, Li Dagong. Li Dagong saw that Liu Zhiyuan had the appearance of an emperor and thus married his daughter Li San Niang to Liu Zhiyuan. However, Li San Niang's older brother Li Hongyi and his wife were rich and looked down on the poor, strongly opposing the marriage. Li Dagong ignored their protests and still married Liu Zhiyuan. Soon after, Li Dagong and his wife passed away, and Li Hongyi and his wife mistreated Liu Zhiyuan and Li San Niang, making him do menial tasks, including cleaning the mill.
Li Hongyi and his wife hated Liu Zhiyuan and his wife, so they ordered Liu Zhiyuan to watch the melon field, hoping that the melon spirit would kill him. Liu Zhiyuan defeated the melon spirit and obtained a military manual and a precious sword. Knowing that he could no longer stay at home, Liu Zhiyuan bid farewell to San Niang and went to Fen Prefecture to join the army. Initially serving as a night watchman under General Yue, Yue soon noticed Liu Zhiyuan's imperial bearing and took him as a son-in-law. Later, Liu Zhiyuan won many battles, received promotions, and eventually became the Governor of the Nine Provinces.
(This story illustrates that the days of "bee stings" cannot defeat those who are determined, talented, and blessed.)
Master's Interpretation Case:
Case One:
Hello, today I drew the 72nd Guanyin Oracle, asking about the outcome of my marriage. My husband wants a divorce, and I don't agree, so we moved out. Now I can't contact him. He sent me a message telling me to file for divorce myself, and he won't come back. Please help me interpret the oracle.
Online Oracle Interpreter: Don't force it. Everything requires effort and worry.
Case Two:
What is the development prospect of returning to China after graduating abroad? Ask the wise for guidance. The oracle text is as follows:
Online Oracle Interpreter: Whether it's worth returning to China now is uncertain, but you must work hard for two years. This oracle doesn't mention anything about foreign lands, so I'm confident that both overseas and domestic will have such periods.
Case Three:
Interpreting the 72nd Guanyin Oracle, Wang Mang's Search for Virtuous People, asking about love. Please come in, those who understand, I'll give extra points.
I've been with my boyfriend for more than three years and are preparing to get married. Recently, we've been arguing a lot over big and small issues, and we're near breaking up. However, the wedding date is already set for the end of this year, and our relatives and friends know about it, only waiting for the formal invitation.
Previously, my boyfriend had done some serious flirtations with other women, and they were very close, even kissing each other's cheeks. I am very strong-willed and sensitive. He has kept in touch with that woman in a vague way, and when she initiated, he didn't refuse. Recently, he has also had a difficult time at work, so he easily argues with me.
Now I'm very confused. Yesterday, I drank with my sisters and got drunk, then woke up at six o'clock in the morning to draw this oracle. I never thought I would ever go to draw an oracle before, as I'm only 22 years old and don't know much. But now I really don't know what to do, and I just want to see what the heavens want to tell me.
Those who come in, please don't copy and paste. I'm asking sincerely, because others' opinions affect me. I remember the oracle interpreter at the temple said that there is an alternative path and that I need to be united, trust those around me, and treat them kindly. This is probably based on the story of Wang Mang. However, I want to ask about my love and whether I should continue.
Oracle Interpretation: This is the image of a bee collecting honey, leading to sweet results but ending in bitterness. Everything requires effort and vigilance against potential disasters.
Marriage is approaching, but you must be cautious and handle it carefully to succeed.
Case Four:
My boyfriend and I are very in love, but his parents strongly oppose it, and he is caught between two choices. I drew a sign to ask whether my relationship with my boyfriend still has a chance.
Online Oracle Interpreter: The most important thing is whether your boyfriend's determination is firm. What is his opinion? If he truly loves you, no one can separate you. If he is not sincere, the Bodhisattva cannot help you! It's all up to you. The road is walked by people. All things arise from the mind. Doubt and divided attention make things difficult to achieve. From this sign, I can only see that you are not confident in yourself or your love. Use your heart to feel his heart, and you will find the answer yourself. Don't listen to false words, or you may miss your happiness in life!
