Lot 51: The Old Garden after the Storm
Fortune poem
The old garden just weathered a storm,
Bent branches, fallen leaves, a sorrow wide;
The soil is damp, the roots still hold,
Tend the plants, and roses will rise.
Meaning of the lot
The storm left the garden in disarray, but the roots remain and the soil is still moist. After an emotional upheaval, you need time to clean up and rebuild from within.
If you are single
This is not the time to start a new relationship. Tend your own garden first, and flowers will bloom again once the roots are healthy.
If you are in a relationship
If you two just had a big fight, don't rush to any conclusions. Gather the leaves and tidy the garden together, the foundation is still there.
