The Fortune Cookie
One fortune a day, baked from the day’s news. The lucky numbers are real: each one appears in that day’s stories.
You will join a long queue this week and fear the wait. Count again before you sigh: it may have only four people in it.

Grow at your own pace this season. Those rushed to their full weight in a month are seldom asked what they hoped to become.

You will book a bigger room than you need. Leave the spare chair empty a while; someone worth the coat on it is still on the way.
Lucky numbers1,374 · 2,346 · 972 · 4.60 · 789
Someone will offer to sell you a shorter wait. Keep your coins; the person beside you in the queue knows a better story than the one at the front.

Something new of yours has a flaw nobody has found. Let a friend find it first; it is a gift to you both.
Lucky numbers47,412 · 50.4 · 27.2 · 117 · 8,000
You will be asked to prove a large idea over a short distance. One mile, flown honestly, settles more arguments than a hangar kept ready for thirty years.

Something you set aside long ago is being quietly repaired. When it is ready, return to it as though you had only stepped out.

Something you start this week will be called old before it is finished. Let that be its best name.

Tonight you will be given back an hour you lent in the spring. Spend it on something that does not need a second reading.

The thing you bought too big for every room will one day be given a house of its own. Measure the door before you buy the next one.
Lucky numbers16,559 · 42,400 · 14,000 · 11.65 · 237
You will arrive early somewhere that matters. Walk once round the block; some doors only open for those who come in properly.
Lucky numbers636,208 · 947 · 20,285 · 691 · 260
Someone will soon offer you the starring role for a small fee. Read the script first; the best parts are often the ones nobody is selling.

This week an office will ask you to report in person. Go. Being present is a rare skill, and in some ministries a qualification.
Lucky numbers4,300 · 13,144 · 200,000 · 176 · 2.5
Wherever you queue this week, a second window will open beside the only one. Stand in neither; the clerk is coming round with tea.
Lucky numbers932.1 · 1,848 · 17% · 20.7 · 1.75
You will answer more letters this week than you receive. Keep the spare replies in a drawer; someone is already writing.
Lucky numbers461 · 782 · 1,009 · 380,000 · 299
A long deadline is a kind of compliment. Someone believes you will still be there to meet it.
Lucky numbers1,270 · 582,000 · 94.5 · 143 · 2031
Great power is coming your way. Authority to do anything about it is sold separately.
