Fortune sticksLot 39 of 50Great luck
The spring tide lifts every boat
The top grade. The way is open; act.

The verse
Water up over the old marks on the quay,
Every hull afloat, the great and the small.
Loose the ropes while the tide is in;
What floats now goes wherever you point it.
What it means
General good fortune, the kind that lifts everything at once. Conditions around you are favourable, in your trade, your family, your town, and the lot says to make the most of them while they last: launch, ask, go. A high tide does not wait.
What lot 39 says for
- Love
- Everything is easier than usual. Make the move you have been putting off.
- Work and study
- Your whole field is rising. Ride it: ask for more, launch the thing, take the bigger role.
- Money
- A good season for income and for the value of what you hold. Set some aside for the ebb.
- Wellbeing
- Buoyant. Enjoy it without burning the candle at both ends.
- Home and travel
- Moves, journeys and new beginnings are all favoured. Go while the water is high.
Take away

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.
