Type No. 240 of 576
the Deep Water × the Feast at the Long Table
Depth × Sincerity × the Free Thread
Scorpio
Scorpio is the sign of deep water. This thread tends to go below the surface of things — few words, long memory, and loyalty that is total once given.
Pig
The Pig — in Japan read as the Boar, the straight-charging messenger of the mountains — is the feast at the long table. This thread tends to be sincere to a fault and generous past the point of caution.
It approaches life head-on: say the true thing, share the good thing, charge at the hard thing.
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: concentration that can hold a secret, a goal, or a grief without flinching
Gift: honesty — people relax around a Pig because the performance is over
Tender spot: testing people instead of simply asking them
