Dragon King Hall — Lot 5

This tube asks about timing. The thing you want to start and have not — say it once, inside.

Dragon King Hall · Lot 5Fair

旱久田干心莫焦天河有水在云霄守得井深水自满急抽硬灌反伤苗

What it means: Do not force it. Let the source fill.

The verse is kept in Chinese. It is a four-line regulated poem — rhyme and metre are part of the thing itself, and they do not survive translation. The reading below is written in English.

All Fair lots

The reading

A long dry spell, and no use in panicking. The water is deep down; pumping hard damages the roots. Let it rise slowly and the level comes up on its own.

The Dragon King's lots are about water: when it arrives, the channel is already made.

How to read this grade

Fair is not a bad lot. It means even — no great tailwind, no wall. This band most often lands on doing the thing in front of you well and not changing roads yet.

All eighty lots are lines written for Hanlu Temple. They are here to help you put a question into words — no promise, and no medical, financial or legal advice.

Draw this lot in the hall

Walk to the Dragon King Hall, sit down on a cushion and put your palms together. The tube of lots stands by the altar. A lot you drew in the same hall on the same day is remembered, so you can come back and read it again.
