歸程杳杳定無疑石中藏玉有誰知一朝良匠分明剖始覺安然碧玉期

The road home is far, but there is no doubt;
who knows the jade hidden inside the stone?
One day a skilled craftsman cuts it open,
and you see the season of green jade has come.

English rendering: our editorial version.

Meaning

Hidden value will be revealed with effort and skill. Keep going; recognition comes.

Traditional text

詩意:此卦剖石見玉之象。凡事著力成功也。

解曰:寶在石中。異人少知。直待分明。盡可施為。

另本 Variant:渺渺前途事可疑,石中藏玉有誰知,一朝良臣分明剖,始覺其中碧玉奇。

Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times before he was received. When they met, Zhuge laid out the plan that would divide the empire into three. A great talent had been hidden in a hut.

Guidance by topic
♡Love & Relationships

Get to know each other properly; the match is better than it seems.

◇Career & Study

Your talent has not been noticed. Show your work to someone who can see it.

◈Wealth & Business

This lot invites care with money: earned through effort; look again at old resources. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.

✚Health & Wellbeing

This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: get a thorough check-up for hidden issues. This is reflection, not a diagnosis.

⌂Home & Family

Keep things as they are; avoid big renovations.

➶Travel & Those Away

No news yet. A message will come once things settle.

◎Lost Items

Look to the west, somewhere hidden or tucked away.

⚖Disputes & Legal Matters

This lot invites patience with disputes: alarming at first, favourable once the truth is clear. For binding disputes, a qualified adviser is wiser than any oracle.
