jbradfor Posted January 13, 2015 at 05:34 PM Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 at 05:34 PM The right half (larger characters) is the fortune, harder to understand; the left half (left of the 解曰) is the explanation, recommend you focus on that half.

lingo-ling Posted January 14, 2015 at 05:58 AM Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 at 05:58 AM Note that the original text tends to be abstruse and metaphorical, and the interpretations vague and broadly applicable. One of them is something about a well containing clear, sweet water and a kid fetching it and bringing it up a mountain. In the interpretation there's a reference to 月老 - the Old Man Under the Moon, who people pray to for love. Wish I had more time and resources at the moment.
