Stick #7: Purple Aura from the East (Supreme Fortune)
紫气东来三千里，圣人将度函谷关。贵人接引机缘至，事业腾飞势莫拦。
Plain reading
This lot says a patron is near and the hour has come. Like purple mist from the east and a sage approaching the pass, a noble guide appears and enterprise rises with force none can block. Step forward and seize the chance.
Interpretation
"Purple Aura from the East" is a stick of supreme fortune. Like Laozi leaving the pass, a sage is coming — patrons appear and career leaps upward. "None can block" shows the tide is set; ride it boldly.
Situation notes
- Career: Career soars. Change jobs, start ventures, or seek promotion — all may be tried.
- Relationships: A match from a fine family may come — weigh character over rank alone.
- Wealth: Wealth through patrons. Partners and investments gain from wise counsel.
Common misread
Auspicious tiers (such as Supreme Fortune) are tone, not a verdict. Name one action you control before redrawing.
Advice
Seek the wise and the good. When opportunity comes, do not hesitate — yet keep balance worthy of the purple air.
Drawn from the Biographies of Immortals: Laozi rode an ox through Hangu Pass; Yin Xi saw purple air and knew the sage was near.
