Sign 5: Liu Chen Meets the Immortal

In the Eastern Han, Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao entered Mount Tiantai to gather herbs and became lost for thirteen days. They met two fairy maidens by a stream who invited them to a grotto. They were served sesame rice and married the fairies. After half a year, they grew homesick and requested to return. When they left the mountain, they discovered that seven generations had passed—they were now in the Jin Dynasty. Later they tried to find the immortals' traces but never succeeded. This sign indicates that mortal hearts remain unquenched, immortal connections are hard to preserve—gain leads to loss.

This sign is neutral, like a flower in a mirror or the moon on water. In career, you may encounter noble helpers, but if you are eager for quick success, good things will easily slip away. In love, you may meet an extremely suitable partner, but be wary of fleeting romances that are hard to make permanent. Financially, unexpected money comes and goes quickly. This sign warns: do not forget your roots because of present splendor; contentment brings lasting benefit.
