Jiazi Fortune Poem No. 53: Liu Yuanpu Is Blessed with Twin Sons

Jiazi Fortune Poem No. 53 is the Renshen poem of the 60-year cycle, and its story is “Liu Yuanpu Is Blessed with Twin Sons”. In plain words: Good luck is saved up little by little, so don't keep asking about the future. Small kindnesses count, and the blessings will spill over.

Renshen
I see you've come to ask what's in your heart.A home that gathers kindness has blessings to spare.Luck flows, and wealth and children come in pairs.Soon, joy will spill out through your gate.

Original Chinese

看君來問心中事積善之家慶有餘運亨財子雙雙至指日喜氣溢門閭

What it says about…

Overall luck
A slow-luck sign with nothing to fear; it just takes time. Things improve around the end of the year.
Love
Let it grow slowly. Couples, talk more and guess less. Singles, love is coming, just slowly.
Business
Slow to show results. If you're starting, save enough first. If you've been at it a while, give it a year.
Work
Stay where you are; no big problems. A new job would take a long time to grow.
Buying a home
Good to live in, average for business. The house itself should be fine.
Health
It may not clear up at once. Follow your doctor and heal slowly. Going to bed early builds your reserves.
Exams
Harder at first; it depends on steady work. Missing the first time is okay.
Legal disputes
It will take a while; look again near year's end. Organize your papers one by one.
Family
No sign of trouble. If you still argue, small things may have piled up. Talk it out the same day.
