How many Wong Tai Sin fortune sticks are there?

There are 100 Wong Tai Sin fortune sticks. This page organizes the official sign number, name, grade, and original poem for all 100 signs, sourced from Sik Sik Yuen, for one-stop reference.

How do I read the Wong Tai Sin grade?

The 100 signs are grouped into five grades: The Best, Very Good, Moderately Good, Average, and Poor. The grade is a quick signal; the poem and explanation carry the actual reading.

What should I do if I draw a Poor sign?

A Poor sign points to heavier resistance or higher risk. It is not a final verdict. The practical reading is to slow down, reduce exposure, and separate what you can control from what you cannot.

How should I understand a poem I cannot read easily?

Start with the sign name and poem, then read the plain-language gloss. Classical wording often works through story and image, so avoid judging from one isolated word.

Is an online Wong Tai Sin draw accurate?

This page is a reference registry, not a draw tool. A draw is best treated as a cultural reference and a mirror for self-reflection. It should not replace medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.

Where does this Wong Tai Sin reference data come from?

The number, name, grade, and original poem for all 100 signs are taken from the official Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple stick enquiry, a single authoritative source.

KAUCIM.AI REFERENCE

Wong Tai Sin kau cim canonical reference

Wong Tai Sin kau cim (黃大仙靈籤) is a set of one hundred fortune-stick oracles from Wong Tai Sin Temple (Sik Sik Yuen) in Hong Kong. A seeker shakes a bamboo cylinder until one numbered stick (1 to 100) falls out, each mapping to a fortune poem and a fortune grade. This page is a canonical reference to all one hundred sticks: number, name, grade, and original poem, sourced entirely from the official Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple, with plain-language notes and methodology.

This is a reference document, not a divination tool, and it makes no predictive claims. We treat each poem as a mirror: it reflects your present state of mind, not a fixed fate.

Five-grade taxonomy

The sticks fall into five grades, most to least auspicious:

上上 Highest (3 sticks): most auspicious
上吉 Very auspicious (10): a clear direction
中吉 Moderately auspicious (29): steady, with results
中平 Neutral (40): neither high nor low, depends on effort
下下 Cautionary (18): a call for care, more reminder than verdict

(Counts from the official 100-stick set.)
