门前樟树绿阴浓宅向清吉好住踪睦得邻人和六亲福气自然留此中

What it means: A good house and good neighbours. Keep the peace.

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 Good lots

The reading

The place you live in has a good feel, and getting on with the neighbours matters most. Keep the front and back tidy, give way a little in disputes, and the luck stays.

The Earth God looks after one patch of ground. His lots always come back to harmony.

How to read this grade

Good sits one step below Excellent: the direction is right, but the work has to be carried with diligence and patience. If the verse talks about keeping, gathering or holding steady, that is the point of the lot.

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 Earth God Shrine, 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.
