Fortune sticksLot 13 of 50Take care
The well runs low in summer
A warning, not a sentence. Wait, check, or change course.
The verse
The bucket comes up half full,
And the rope is longer than it was.
Water the roots and not the leaves,
And the rains will find the well still standing.
What it means
A season of less. Energy, money or goodwill is thinner than usual, and the lot does not pretend otherwise. It tells you to spend what you have on what matters most and to let the rest go dry for a while. The well refills; wells do.
What lot 13 says for
- Love
- Less to give than usual. Say so plainly rather than going quiet.
- Work and study
- Do the essential work well and drop the optional. Nobody will remember the optional.
- Money
- Tighten up. Essentials first, treats later, no new commitments.
- Wellbeing
- Protect sleep and meals before anything else. Everything else can slip a little.
- Home and travel
- Not the time for a big trip or a big change at home.
Take away
Water the roots.

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.
