Mazu Fortune Stick No. 67 · Dui Hexagram
暑月途中熱不勝，忽沾雨露頓心清，勸君更俟涼風動，管取飄飄兩腋輕。 Traveling in the summer months, the heat is too much; then a sudden rain, and your heart is cool at once. Wait a little longer for the cool wind to rise, and you will feel light as a breeze.
The poem
暑月途中熱不勝
Traveling in the summer months, the heat is too much;
忽沾雨露頓心清
then a sudden rain, and your heart is cool at once.
勸君更俟涼風動
Wait a little longer for the cool wind to rise,
管取飄飄兩腋輕
and you will feel light as a breeze.

These short reminders are written by us from the poem and its hexagram; they are not the readings printed on the temple's slip, so for a real reading go by the temple where you drew the lot. The temple's list also has an "illness" topic, which we leave out, and the pregnancy topic is always a reminder to follow your doctor. If you feel unwell, please see a doctor.
What it means
Traveling in unbearable summer heat, you are suddenly refreshed by rain. Wait a little more for the cool wind and you will feel light and free.
Reminder: The hardest part is nearly over; hold on a bit longer.
This is a plain reading of the words. How it applies to your own question is best settled with the interpreter at the temple where you drew it.
How to draw a lot
- Light incense and tell Mazu your name, birth date and address, then state clearly the one matter you are asking about.
- Cast the moon blocks (jiaobei, two crescent-shaped wooden blocks) to ask whether you may draw. One face up and one face down means yes; then pull one stick from the cylinder.
- Cast the blocks again to confirm that this is your stick. Many temples ask for three yeses in a row; if not, put it back and draw again.
- Collect the poem with the matching number. Read the whole poem, then find the topic below that fits your question. If it is unclear, ask the temple's interpreter.
Ask about one thing at a time; the more specific the question, the easier the poem is to apply.
Common misunderstandings
A gloomy poem means the matter is doomed.
Most poems are reminders and directions. The same poem means different things for different questions, so look at the topic that matches yours.
You can keep drawing on the same question until you get a good poem.
By custom you ask once per matter. If you are still unsure, ask the temple's interpreter, or wait a while and ask again.

A straight word: fortune poems are a matter of faith, and the meanings here are ours
The Chinese text and hexagram names follow a widely circulated edition, checked line by line against three other versions; we only corrected obvious copying errors, and every page shows the base text's original wording wherever we changed it. The topic reminders, English translations and plain-English meanings are our own reading of the words and the hexagram, not the temple's readings or official interpretation. For a real reading, ask at the temple where you drew the lot. For legal, medical or financial questions, see a professional, and if you feel unwell, see a doctor. Everything on this site is for reference and entertainment.
