Jiazi Fortune Poem No. 14 is the Bingyin poem of the 60-year cycle, and its story is “Lady Wang Is Blessed with Twin Sons”. In plain words: Wait, and keep your heart easy. Good things come step by step before they reach you, and life eases after Mid-Autumn.

Bingyin
Halfway through, little by little, things come clear.Flowers bloom and fall, and then the fruit is formed.Ease your heart and watch the sweet osmanthus in the moon.And you, my friend, will soon see peace.

Original Chinese

時中漸漸見分明花開花謝結子成寬心且看月中桂郎君即便見太平

What it says about…

Overall luck
Smooth, with no big swings. Things get better after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Love
You may have two or three people in mind. Choose by what matters most to you. Couples, relax; you may be overthinking.
Business
If you're breaking even, hold on until after Mid-Autumn. If you keep losing, cut your losses.
Money
Small wins, like a little lottery prize. Still worth a smile.
Work
Stay where you are for now. Think about switching around next Mid-Autumn.
Buying a home
For a presale home, wait until you can see it built. If someone else gets it, let it go.
Health
See a doctor if you're unwell. After surgery, keep every follow-up visit.
Exams
Good chances of passing.
Legal disputes
Peace first. Try sitting down through mediation.
Family
Home is already peaceful. Every kind of family can be whole and warm.
