The 100 Guanyin lots

Lot 40 of 100

The red wheel sets in the west as the rabbit rises in the east

The poem

紅輪西墜兔東升陰長陽消是兩形若是女人占此卦增添福祿稱心情

In English

The red wheel sets in the west as the rabbit rises in the east;yin grows while yang wanes, two aspects of one cycle.If a woman consults this sign,her blessings will grow and her heart will be at ease.

What it says

The red wheel is the sun and the rabbit the moon. As the sun sets and the moon rises, yin grows and yang fades, a natural turn. The poem says that a woman drawing it will find her blessings increase and her mind at ease. In modern terms, it values gentle strength and living with natural rhythms.

A thought to take with you

Slow down with the rhythm of things and let gentleness bring you peace of mind.
