Type No. 511 of 576
the Balanced Scale × the Wind on the Plain
Harmony × Freedom × the Double Pattern
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.
Horse
The Horse is the wind on the plain. This thread tends to need open ground — a Horse in too small a paddock spends its energy on the fence.
It approaches life by motion: decide at a gallop, adjust at a gallop.
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: diplomacy that lets two proud people both keep their dignity
Gift: energy — rooms speed up and brighten when a Horse commits
Tender spot: postponing a necessary 'no' to keep a temporary peace
