Fortune sticksLot 29 of 50Take care

The empty teahouse

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

The verse

Tables set and the kettle on,
And nobody comes up the road.
The tea is good; the road is wrong.
Carry the kettle to where the people are.

What it means

Right thing, wrong place or wrong time. What you are offering is fine, but you are offering it where nobody is passing. The lot says to stop waiting for the road to change and to move yourself: a different audience, a different platform, a different hour.

What lot 29 says for

Love
You will not meet anyone where you are looking. Change the room.
Work and study
Good work in the wrong place. Take it to the people who need it, or change roles.
Money
What you sell is sound; where you sell it is not. Move the stall.
Wellbeing
Loneliness is a location problem as often as a personal one. Go where people are.
Home and travel
A move, even a small one, is favoured over waiting for the neighbourhood to change.

Take away

Carry the kettle to the people.

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.
