Threading the needle by lamplight

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

The verse

The lamp is low and the thread is fine,
Three tries and the needle is still bare.
Steady your hand, wet the thread, and wait;
On the fourth try it slips through clean.

What it means

Fiddly, not fatal. What you are attempting can be done, but it is resisting you, and the lot asks for patience and small adjustments rather than force or a new plan. Detail matters more than effort now.

What lot 7 says for

Love: Small misunderstandings. Say the thing plainly a second time, and kindly.
Work and study: Check the detail. A contract, a form or a line of code needs a careful second pass.
Money: Nothing dramatic. Review the small recurring costs and tidy them up.
Wellbeing: Eyes, posture and sleep: small fixes with a big return.
Home and travel: Delays in paperwork rather than in the plan itself. Keep copies of everything.

Take away

Slow down and try once more.

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.
