Much of our lives is shaped by destiny, with only a few small elements we can alter through our own hard work. As the Buddha taught about karma and cause-and-effect, the deeds from past lives determine our current path—no need to resent fate for seeming unfair, as riches or poverty stem from our own past accumulations.

A: Your Lifetime is Destined for Mediocrity
If you're dreaming of soaring to the top like in Huang Tengda tales, you might be disappointed—your fate points to an ordinary life, with little chance to stand out. That said, you won't endure extreme poverty either; basic comfort is assured. Positioning yourself among the average means a joyful existence, free from worries about privacy breaches, personal freedom being stripped, or falling victim to deceit. A grounded life is your greatest blessing this lifetime.
B: Your Lifetime is Destined for Wealth
Maybe you're currently fretting over your future or wondering why you can't live without financial worries. Truth is, no need to stress—your destiny is one of riches; it's just that the timing hasn't arrived yet, and you'll need to endure a bit longer. Everyone's life comes with a set number of coarse cloths and fine silks, luxurious robes and jade feasts—heaven has already arranged it all. What belongs to you will eventually come your way; your good fortune is waiting there, and no one can take it. Just patiently await the right moment.
C: Your Lifetime is Destined for Poverty
If you're chasing a glamorous life or constantly comparing your circumstances to others, better stop now—your fate doesn't hold such blessings. Forcing comparisons will only bring inner turmoil and endless resentment. Why make yourself so unhappy? Since this life destines poverty, face it peacefully. While striving for basic warmth, do more to help others and accumulate merit for yourself—life will become happier, and your destiny may subtly shift without you realizing.
D. Your Lifetime is Destined for Ruin
Wow! You're someone with poor self-control. When broke, you're relatively content with a peaceful, simple life. But once money comes in, all your bad habits surface—"squandering" is the perfect word for you. Thus, wealth would only lead to your downfall, while life's hardships instead make you stronger, braver, and more admirable.
E: Your Lifetime is Destined for Help from Noble People
Perhaps your abilities aren't the strongest, and your life isn't as ideal as hoped, but whenever you face difficulties and need assistance most, noble people always step in to help resolve your issues one by one. This is your lifetime's greatest fortune—something others beg for but can't obtain. Cherish it well, though it's what you rightfully deserve.
F: Your Lifetime is Destined for a Mix of Good and Bad
You're a free-spirited person who doesn't place much value on money. With cash, you live luxuriously; without it, you can thrive on instant noodles daily. For you, a happy life matters most—money doesn't guarantee joy, and lack of it doesn't preclude happiness. In this liberated, carefree existence, your fate is destined to be a blend of ups and downs.
