劝君切莫向他求　似鹤飞来暗箭投
若去采薪蛇在草　恐遭毒口也忧愁

The global interpretation for this lot

Average

1. Translation from the ancient Chinese text

Don’t aim too high, the best of my advice. A stork in flight may conceal a secret arrow. As you collect the faggots in the fields, you may find a snake. Much you’ll grieve for that bite of venom.

2. The Meaning

This lot advice you to be content with your lot and hold yourself back from too high ambition. You must take every precaution against possible adversities. Keep your mouth as tight as a sealed bottle. Don’t get involved but remain aloof. For anything done against your conscience, you will eventually suffer incalculable harm. Your home will be safe enough but your personal safety in uncertain. Business is slow and will come to a standstill. There is little chance to make a fortune, best bide your time. Marriage prospects are not promising and pregnancy will lead nowhere. The prospect of rearing herds looks unfavorable. Both travelers and visitors will encounter hardship. Migration or moving in a new house is not advisable. Lost things can never be found. This sick cannot be cured but your ancestral graves will have no trouble.
