Type No. 404 of 576
the Mountain Path × the Flock on the Green Hill
Ambition × Kindness × the Open Loom
Capricorn
Capricorn is the sign of the mountain path. This thread tends to climb in switchbacks — patient, private, and very hard to discourage.
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 O
Type O is read, in the Japanese custom, as the open loom — the frame the other threads hang on. This reading tends to gather people, set a generous pace, and aim at the outcome rather than the procedure.
In practice, the O thread leads best in the open: clear goal, public credit, and details happily delegated to careful hands.
The shadow in this thread is the skipped stitch: big-picture confidence can wave past a small fact that later holds the whole pattern.
Strengths and tender spots
Strength: long-range discipline that arrives where louder climbers quit
Gift: warmth — people heal faster around a Goat, including the Goat, when it remembers itself
Tender spot: carrying the whole mountain alone instead of asking for a rope team
Read with tonight's moon
A type is only half the reading; the other half is the moon it is read under. The free diagnostic on the top page reads your type together with tonight's moon phase.
