The verse
Pan after pan of grey river sand,
The back aches and the water is cold.
Then one bright grain, and another,
And the long patience turns to gold.
What it means
Patient work pays out. Whatever you have been sifting through, the boring applications, the careful saving, the slow study, this is the lot that says the bright grains are in the pan. It is a great lot because the reward is earned and therefore stays.
What lot 20 says for
- Love
- The steady one, the one you almost overlooked, is the gold.
- Work and study
- Results from long effort arrive. Make sure they are seen and credited to you.
- Money
- Slow saving shows its worth. Do not spend the lot at once.
- Wellbeing
- The habits you kept through the dull months are paying out now.
- Home and travel
- The long search ends. The right place or the right people turn up.
Take away
Keep panning; the gold is in this river.

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.
