The clouds part, the moon comes out, and all is clear.No need to ask whether to go forward or back.Every marriage is written by heaven.In harmony and calm, all things come to be.

雲開月出見分明不須進退問前途婚姻皆由天註定和合清吉萬事成

What it says about…

Overall luck
Luck turns in winter. It loosens around the eighth lunar month and gets better after the tenth.
Love
Not bad, just a little cool. Add warmth with time together. Singles have better chances in winter.
Business
Better in winter. If business is slow, check your location, and find partners to share the load.
Work
Raise your hand for what you want, and let your manager see your good work.
Buying a home
Check the light and airflow. Warm colors can help, and you can draw a second stick.
Health
Recovery takes time. Go to bed earlier, and see a doctor when needed.
Exams
Winter exams go better. Stay relaxed and sleep well the night before.
Legal disputes
Make peace if you can. If they won't be reasonable, keep evidence and get help.
Family
If home feels cold, be the one who calls everyone to dinner.
