Okana Bara, also known as Okana Obara and Okonron Obara, speaks to a person born to divine, who brings from the other world the condition of awó. In this sign were born the tocororo as its bird, the rose that shines for a single day, the freeing of the slaves and the law that God helps those who work. Here, if Obatalá turns away from someone, only Orunmila saves them. Its ruling is a warning: guard against death before its time and against the disaster that destroys the house, be it lightning, storm or fire.
Your strength lies in Eshu. When he walks beside you, you go to the market and come back with gains, the friends who left return and even death withdraws. Your mother looks after you even after her death: honor her. At work, the honest and hardworking one wins even if another shines more, like the tocororo before the woodpecker. But there is much envy: someone powerful is planning to take your life because of how well you work. Do not boast of what you know or what you achieve, for your work may be mocked and people may think you a fighter.
«The rose shines for one day. The splendor of Okana Obara is secured with ebbó, not with showing off.»The pulse of Okana Bara
Today you are short of money; you owe and are owed, and whatever you lend will be hard to collect. A trip or a white visitor can bring you trouble with the law. There are those who want to use and crush you, as they do with the clay for building houses or with the yam that is pounded, and they can make you the victim of a malicious lie. Your enemies bind you in a chain. Speak little, because death pursues the one who talks too much, and watch over your home during parties, which can end in tragedy.
Family is your delicate point. There are serious problems with your children or your parents, the unity of the home breaks, and you could lose your children through witchcraft or some other cause. You tend to strike: hold yourself back, because whoever does harm pays for it. If you are a woman, beware of ending up beside a man who only knows how to beat you and from whom you cannot escape. If you are a man, you are exposed to great ingratitude. With the ebbó, unity, peace and children return.
In health, this sign asks for sacrifice in order to have a long and healthy life, because whoever does not fulfill it does not go far. None of your joy should rest on vanity, which lasts as long as the rose. Respect Obatalá and do not offend him, and always walk with Eshu and with Orunmila, who are the ones who open your path in Okana Bara.
The sign in one lineDivine quietly, protect your roof from lightning, and go to the market with Eshu, for Okana Obara's large jar comes back full.
