What is the meaning of the person waiting for you in the Omikuji?

What does the "person waiting" in the fortune slip mean?

The "person waiting" on the fortune slip refers to "someone who will have a great influence on your life." It can also be called a "key person in your life." This does not have to be a romantic partner, but could be a friend of the same sex, a colleague at work, a senior or junior at school, or even a family member or relative.

Furthermore, it may not be a person. When you hear "a person waiting for you," you think of a person, but it also includes an event. It also suggests whether your wish will come true, so if you have a specific dream or goal, be sure to check what is written under "a person waiting for you."

The meaning of what is written in "Waiting for Someone"

From here, let's take a look at the meaning of what is written in the "waiting person" section.

The person you're waiting for is coming

"The one you're waiting for is coming" means that someone or something important to you will come around.

Some fortune slips may even state when your loved one will arrive, such as "early" or "late." If the fortune slip you drew at the beginning of the year said "late," your loved one may arrive in the second half of the year (in autumn or winter). It's best to wait patiently.

There is news that the person you are waiting for has arrived

"Tayori" means "contact." "Tayori ari" means that someone important to you will contact you by phone, social media, letter, etc.

There is also the saying "There is news that the one you are waiting for is coming," but it is better to think of "news" as "a rumor on the wind." It means "To find out about the existence of the one you are waiting for through a third party."

The person you are waiting for will come and surprise you.

"When the one you're waiting for arrives, something amazing happens" means that someone important to you will arrive and something amazing will happen.

If it says "There will be something to be happy about," it suggests that something happy will happen for the person or those around them.

The one I was waiting for never came

"Awaited person does not come" is the opposite of "Awaited person comes", meaning that "people or events important to you will not come around". Depending on the fortune slip, the reason why they will not come may also be written.

You may be disappointed, but it's best to think that now is not the time and prepare yourself for when the time comes.

There is news that the person I was waiting for did not come.

"There is news even though the one you are waiting for has not arrived" means that although you cannot see the person or event that is important to you, you will receive some kind of communication.

As mentioned in "News that the one you're waiting for has arrived," possible means of contact include telephone, social media, and letters.

The person I was waiting for didn't come and there was some trouble.

"Sawari" is a word that means "omen." "Awaiting someone but not coming" means that "the momentum for an important person or event is building, even though you can't see it." This is a fortune that you can look forward to in the long run.

Ask us

"Ask first" means "Don't just wait, take action yourself." If it says "Ask first" about the person you are waiting for, you may be able to get closer to them by taking action yourself.

Wait patiently

"Wait patiently" means "It may not come yet, but it will come around someday." As this saying goes, wait patiently without rushing. Your patience and the strength of your will may be being tested.
