Lot 4: A Boat Awaiting the Tide

Readings by situation

Single

Your boat is moored at the dock because the water has not risen enough, not because there is no river. This is not the best time to force yourself into a relationship. Use the waiting time to fill yourself up, and the tide will rise at the right moment.

Advice: Pick one personal goal for the next three months and focus on it instead of anxiously looking for someone.

In a relationship

The two of you are like a boat moored at the dock; a few things are still unresolved, so you cannot sail yet. Your feelings have not soured; you are simply in a waiting phase. Pushing off in shallow water could leave you both stuck.

Advice: Set aside tense topics for a few weeks and only return to them when you are both calm.

Secret crush

Your feelings are like a bud that has not yet flowered; it is not time to show them. That person may be busy or not ready for romance. Staying patiently nearby and being an easygoing friend is the best way to wait for a favorable wind.

Advice: Keep a friendly distance and observe a little longer before deciding to express yourself.

About an ex

Until the water rises, the boat cannot move, whether back to the old dock or toward a new one. Your heart is still mixed up and not clear enough to decide. Let time do its work; the answer will come once you are no longer torn.

Advice: Limit contact with your ex for now so your heart can settle before you choose a direction.

Marriage plans

Wedding plans are not sailing smoothly yet, perhaps because of finances, family, or how prepared you both are. The lot does not say it will not happen; it only reminds you that forcing a boat out in low water is hard work. Wait one more season and everything will be easier.

Advice: Agree on a flexible timeline together and make a shared savings plan until then.

AdviceWhen the water is shallow, patience is the best oar.
