Fortune sticksLot 10 of 50Take care
Fruit before the season
A warning, not a sentence. Wait, check, or change course.
The verse
The plum is picked while it is green,
Sharp on the tongue and hard in the hand.
Left on the branch another month
It would have been sweet, and dropped by itself.
What it means
Too soon. Whatever you are reaching for is real but unripe: a deal, a relationship, a decision to leave. Taking it now makes it sour; waiting makes it easy. The lot warns against impatience, not against the thing itself.
What lot 10 says for
- Love
- Do not push for a label or an answer. Let it ripen.
- Work and study
- Do not resign, sign or announce yet. One more month changes the terms in your favour.
- Money
- Not the season for selling or cashing out. The value is still growing.
- Wellbeing
- Impatience shows up as tension. Breathe out longer than you breathe in.
- Home and travel
- A purchase or a move made in a hurry costs more. Wait for the better one.
Take away
Leave it on the branch.

Drew this at a temple?
Temples use different sets, most of them a hundred lots, and ours is a set of fifty, so the verse on your slip will not match ours and the grade can differ. Treat the number as a fair guide if it is fifty or under, and read the verse on your slip first; the image on it is the real answer. Here is how to shake for yourself.
A stick is one question. Your chart is all of them.
