Pa Ra is also known as the symbol of the “drying pond.” Just like a pond without a clear source of water stagnates, then dries out, or a castle built on sand crumbles easily, the foundations that your current situation is built on are shaky indeed. You may not experience any terrible catastrophe, but you will start to experience some decline. Your previous good luck has turned and now you have to muddle through the world without fate on your side, as if struggling through an endless steppe. Wealth will not come to you easily, perhaps you will even lose money. You will find that you cannot rely on your friends for support as much as you thought. Your intentions will not be fulfilled as you would like them to. Even though there is no great calamity, you will still find this situation frustrating. It is natural to want more. Times when nothing seems to go right even if overall your situation could be much worse are still painful.

However, all is not lost. Even though you are not finding success as easily as you have found it before, you can still accomplish wondrous things if you rely on your own skills and meticulous planning. One foot carefully plodding in front of the other can get you to your destination just as well as riding the swift horse of fate, it just requires more effort and true strength of will on your part.

It is also worth examining why your life has fallen into this path. Pa Ra is associated with the shaky foundations compared to a castle built on sand. Has your foundation until now been shaky as well? Maybe your intentions have not been as pure as they should be, and now karma is punishing you for your misdeeds. You can still correct your course by turning to prayer, especially confessional prayer, and making sacrifices to atone for your mistakes. That will put you on a path in alignment with the celestial bodies again.
