Holding to what is right brings good fortune. Watch closely how nourishment is provided, and how each person goes about earning their own sustenance.
Initial Nine: Setting aside your own sacred tortoise to stare enviously at what fills someone else's mouth -- misfortune follows.
Six in the second: Reaching upward for sustenance instead of following the proper order, seeking it instead from the high ground -- keep this up and misfortune follows.
Six in the third: Rejecting proper nourishment altogether -- holding to this brings misfortune, and even ten years won't undo it. There's no upside to this path.
Six in the fourth: Reaching upward for what's needed brings good fortune here -- watching intently, hungry like a tiger fixed on its prey. No fault in that intensity.
Six in the fifth: Straying from the normal order -- staying settled and steady still brings good fortune, but this isn't the moment to cross the great river.
Nine at the top: Becoming the very source others draw nourishment from -- staying alert to the weight of that role brings good fortune, and even crossing the great river is favorable now.
