Type No. 224 of 576
the Balanced Scale × the Flock on the Green Hill
Harmony × Kindness × the Free Thread
Libra
Libra is the sign of the balanced scale. This thread tends to read both sides before speaking — fairness is not indecision here, it is the work itself.
Goat
The Goat is the flock on the green hill (in some traditions rendered as the Sheep). This thread tends to put the group's comfort first and to make beauty out of ordinary days.
It approaches life by harmony: feed everyone, mend the fence, keep the hill pleasant.
Type B
Type B is read, in the Japanese custom, as the free thread — the one that leaves the pattern to see what the cloth could be. This reading tends to follow real interest rather than the schedule on the wall.
In practice, the B thread works best with room to roam and a deadline that is real; its honesty about what it actually wants is a form of respect.
The shadow in this thread is the abandoned loom: a new fascination can quietly inherit the time owed to an old promise.
Strengths and tender spots
Strength: diplomacy that lets two proud people both keep their dignity
Gift: warmth — people heal faster around a Goat, including the Goat, when it remembers itself
Tender spot: postponing a necessary 'no' to keep a temporary peace
