Fortune sticksLot 49 of 50Good luck
The swallows return
Favourable. Things move your way with a little steering.
The verse
The same pair, the same eave, the same spring,
Mud on their beaks before the blossom is out.
What leaves in autumn comes back in April;
Keep the nest, and the nest keeps you.
What it means
Reliability rewarded. What you kept faith with, a place, a person, a practice, comes back to you on time, as it always has. The lot favours loyalty and routine and the quiet pleasure of things returning. Do not knock the old nest down.
What lot 49 says for
- Love
- The one who always comes back is the one. Loyalty is the point, not the problem.
- Work and study
- Returning clients and old colleagues. Look after the ones you have.
- Money
- Regular income, regular saving. The boring kind of good.
- Wellbeing
- Return to the routine that worked. It still works.
- Home and travel
- A return home, or a return of someone to it. Keep the room ready.
Take away
Keep 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.
