Sign 76: Hongwu Herds Cattle
Average Fortune
Story
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was poor in childhood and herded cattle for a landlord. One day, playing with other children, he killed a cow and cooked it, then stuck the tail in a stone crevice, claiming the cow entered the stone. Later, he joined Guo Zixing and eventually became emperor. This sign signifies hidden opportunities in early hardship, requiring endurance to await the right time.
Oracle Poem
A cow entering a stone crevice, a thing of doubt; people say there is mystery in this route. If one day wind and clouds meet, only then will you believe the previous steps were not obsolete.
Interpretation
Career: The current situation appears difficult but is actually a phase of accumulation; keep a low profile and avoid impatience. Love: Fate is still brewing; wait patiently, don't choose wrongly due to loneliness. Wealth: Regular income stabilizes, avoid speculative gains; hold steady and wait.
