Type No. 446 of 576
the Patient Garden × the Plow of the North Field
Steadiness × Endurance × the Double Pattern
Taurus
Taurus is the sign of the tended garden. This thread tends to build slowly and keep what it builds — comfort, craft, and loyalty grow in the same soil.
Ox
The Ox is the animal that plows the field in straight lines. This thread tends to trust effort over luck and to finish what it starts, season after season.
It approaches life by routine: the same honest work, done well, until the field itself changes.
Type AB
Type AB is read, in the Japanese custom, as the double pattern — two threads woven as one cloth. This reading tends to hold two views at once: the rational account and the intuitive one, the public self and the private.
In practice, the AB thread works best where both analysis and originality are valued, and where it can withdraw to re-weave in quiet.
The shadow in this thread is distance: the double view can become a window that others cannot quite knock on.
Strengths and tender spots
Strength: endurance that turns small daily care into something lasting
Gift: reliability — people build plans around an Ox without thinking twice
Tender spot: holding a course long after the season for it has changed
