The verse
One ripe plum on the whole tree,
Picked at dawn and eaten in the orchard.
Sweet beyond its size, and the first of many;
What ripens first ripens for you.
What it means
An early, sweet reward, with more behind it. The lot favours firsts: the first sale, the first yes, the first month of something that will become a habit. It is a great lot because the first plum is the proof the tree bears, and the rest of the season follows from it.
What lot 47 says for
- Love
- A first: a first date that works, a first word in a long silence, a first home together.
- Work and study
- The first win in a new venture. Small, sweet and meaningful. Build on it immediately.
- Money
- First income from a new source. It grows from here.
- Wellbeing
- The first morning you wake up well. Keep doing what you did yesterday.
- Home and travel
- The first season in a new place turns out well. The second is better.

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.
