Divination 28 of 36 · NA TSA Caution
A mountain of sand blown apart
A mountain of sand blown apart: what looked solid turns out to be loose. Plans come apart, support scatters and efforts do not hold. Check your foundations.
Rebuild on rock, not sand.
Make offerings to the earth and practice stabilizing meditation.
A mountain of sand looks like a mountain until the wind rises. The image warns that something taken as solid, a plan, an ally or an income, is made of loose grains with nothing to bind them.
The Scattered Mountain of Sand comes up when the first throw of the die shows NA (earth) and the second shows TSA (wind).
NA is the syllable of earth. It stands for what is solid and lasting: land, home, property, the body and slow, steady increase.
TSA is the syllable of wind. It carries movement, breath, messages and travel. It spreads news and fans flames, and it can scatter what is not tied down.
