Siamsi fortune sticks

Draw a fortune stick (siamsi) online for free. This set uses 28 slips, following the tradition that links them to the 28 lunar mansions. Shake the cylinder to receive one slip with its verse, an explanation of its meaning, and readings for work, money, love and health.

Hold the matter you want to know about clearly in mind, then press to shake the cylinder.

The custom of drawing a fortune stick

Calm your mind and think clearly about what you want to know before shaking.
Shake until one stick falls out, then read the fortune for the number on the stick.
Read the whole slip, not only the lines you like, because the warning is often at the end.
Do not shake again for the same question on the same day; by custom this takes away the meaning of the draw.

The mix of slips in this set

Very good: 8 slips
Good: 11 slips
Moderate: 6 slips
Caution: 3 slips

A good set of fortune sticks mixes good slips with warning slips rather than being all good, because the purpose of a fortune stick is to remind you to be mindful, not only to encourage you.

Frequently asked questions

Can an online fortune stick replace drawing one at a temple?

In terms of belief, many people consider a draw at a temple sacred because of the place itself, while an online draw is for peace of mind and entertainment. Both give advice you can take away and think about.

What should I do if I draw a bad slip?

By Thai custom, if you draw a slip you do not like, take note of the warning and resolve to be careful in that matter. Do not keep shaking until you get a slip you like, because that takes away the meaning of the draw.

How many slips are there in a set?

It depends on the temple or school. The most common set has 28 slips, linked to the 28 lunar mansions; some places use 32 or 100. This page uses the 28-slip system.
