Stick #19: Fortune Turns (Moderately Favorable)
否极泰来运有移，寒梅经雪更芳菲。旧章翻过新篇启，转运就在此一时。
Plain reading
This lot marks a turn of luck. Extreme bad yields to good; plum blooms sweeter after snow. Close the old chapter and open a new — the shift is now. Change method and mood.
Interpretation
"Fortune Turns" is a moderately favorable stick. Tai follows fou — cold plum after snow is finer. "New page after the old" says fortune shifts now; try fresh ways.
Situation notes
- Career: Job change, transfer, exam — now better than before.
- Relationships: Old hurt may release. Restart with honesty.
- Wealth: Stop leaks and fortune opens. Audit and fix habits.
Common misread
Auspicious tiers (such as Moderately Favorable) are tone, not a verdict. Name one action you control before redrawing.
Advice
Drop old baggage. New methods, new circles — luck follows open mind.
Drawn from Book of Changes — tai and pi alternate — and Lin Bu's lonely plum after snow, symbolizing bottom turning to top.
