The swallow's nest

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

The verse

Through wind and rain the swallow carries mud,
Beak by beak she builds against the wall.
The nest looks whole, then the wall comes down,
And all her work goes back to mud.

What it means

Effort spent in the wrong place. The lot does not say you are lazy; it says you are building on something that will not hold. Check the foundation before you add another layer, and be willing to start again on firmer ground.

What lot 3 says for

Love: Notice whether you are the only one carrying the mud. Something built by one person will not stand.
Work and study: Finish what is in hand, but do not pour more into a plan with a known crack in it.
Money: Avoid lending, and do not send good money after bad.
Wellbeing: You are tired from effort, not from any lack of will. Let one thing go.
Home and travel: Delay a renovation or a move until the paperwork is certain.

Take away

Repair the wall before you build the nest.

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.
