签67:姜太公钓鱼
Supreme Fortune
Story
Jiang Shang, at seventy, fished at the Wei River with a straight hook three feet above the water, saying "The willing fish will bite." King Wen of Zhou, while hunting, dreamed of a flying bear entering his tent. Searching for the worthy, he found Jiang Shang and appointed him Grand Preceptor. Later, Jiang assisted King Wu in overthrowing the Shang and canonizing gods into kingdoms. This fortune signifies that great talent matures late and one should wait patiently for the opportunity.
Oracle Poem
Interpretation
This fortune is extremely auspicious, indicating excellent fortune in old age. In career, great talent matures late; those with deep accumulation can soar at once; in relationships, patience leads to a good spouse; in finances, wealth comes late; long-term investments are advisable. The phrase "wind and clouds converged" in the poem symbolizes that the time is ripe.
