The bridge half built

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

The verse

Stone piers stand in the middle of the river,
The far bank close enough to call to.
The hardest arches are the ones behind you;
Lay the next stone, and the next.

What it means

Midway. You are far enough in that going back costs as much as going on, and the lot says that the difficult part is already done, even if it does not feel like it. Its advice is the dullest and the truest: the next stone.

What lot 38 says for

Love: A relationship past its first stage. The work now is ordinary and it is worth doing.
Work and study: The project is halfway and tired. Push through; the second half is shorter than it looks.
Money: A debt half paid or a goal half saved. Keep the same monthly amount.
Wellbeing: A plan at the point where people quit. Do not.
Home and travel: A renovation or a move in the middle. Finish it before starting anything else.

Take away

Lay the next stone.

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.
