Success remains possible. But like a young fox that almost finishes crossing the river only to soak its tail at the very last stretch, nothing is gained if the effort falters at the end.
Initial Six: The tail trails into the water — a moment of real embarrassment.
Nine in the second: Holding back on the wheels, staying steady, brings good fortune.
Six in the third: Before the crossing is complete, pushing forward aggressively brings misfortune, though the crossing itself remains favorable.
Nine in the fourth: Holding steady here brings good fortune, and whatever regret there was lifts. It takes a real shock to finally bring the Devil's Country to heel -- but after three years of this campaign, great territories are the reward.
Six in the fifth: Holding steady here brings good fortune, with nothing to regret -- the genuine brilliance of a person of real character, backed by real sincerity, is what brings this good fortune.
Nine at the top: Drinking with real, easy confidence at a moment like this draws no fault -- but let that confidence go to your head entirely, dunking yourself in it, and you lose the very thing you were trusting in.
