There are a few words that can help explain clearly.

If I guess correctly, you should have been told by a fortune teller. "Failure" means that there is something unsatisfactory. "Dead wood meets spring" means that not all the leaves on the tree are yellow in winter, but spring will show new buds, full of vitality and hope.

The overall idea is that 23-25 years are not very satisfactory, but by 27-8, things will get better and things will turn around!
