The fish is not yet a dragon

A warning, not a sentence. Wait, check, or change course.

The verse

The fish is still a fish, and keeps the river,
It cannot rise and should not try.
But one day its scales will catch the light
And it will clear the gate in a single leap.

What it means

Not yet. The thing you want is real and it is coming, but you are not ready for it and neither is the moment. Pushing now means a wasted leap. Grow where you are, and the gate will be lower when you reach it.

What lot 2 says for

Love: Do not force a conversation that is not ripe. Let someone show you who they are over time.
Work and study: Keep your head down and learn. The promotion or the move comes later, and comes bigger.
Money: Hold. Not the season for a big purchase or a bold move with your savings.
Wellbeing: Rest is productive now. Build the habits you will need when the pace picks up.
Home and travel: Stay put if you can. A trip can wait a few months.

Take away

Prepare quietly and let the river carry you.

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.
