Mending the net before the tide

Neither for nor against. The outcome depends on what you do next.

The verse

The boat is pulled up, the sea is out,
And the net lies open on the sand.
Every knot you tie this afternoon
Is a fish you keep when the tide comes in.

What it means

Preparation time. Nothing is happening yet, and that is the point: the lot asks you to use the quiet to fix what is torn before the busy season, because once the tide is in there is no time to mend. Dull work, well rewarded.

What lot 24 says for

Love: A calm stretch. Use it to say the small true things, not to drift.
Work and study: Tidy the systems, update the files, learn the tool. The rush is coming.
Money: Sort the paperwork, renew the cover, set the budget. Boring now, saving later.
Wellbeing: Build the routine while nothing is pulling on you.
Home and travel: Repairs and admin before the season changes. The leaking tap, the expired document.

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.
