A sample of the Divination Slip Number 1
and the
informations we usually see on a Divination Slip
The lot poem interpretation is a translation from the Chinese ancient text
【解曰】 jiě yuē
急速兆速，
年未值时，
观音降笔，
先报君知。
At the time the world began, all things were preordained. A favorable day brings each fruit ripeness. This is not uncommon that such a happy lot is drawn. By loyal and upright, the king will proclaim.
The cosmic meaning presents what could happen in 15 different dimensions of your life. But the ancient texts are a few hundred years old. So you have to transpose them in today realities.
