Type No. 82 of 576
the Balanced Scale × the Herald of the Dawn
Harmony × Precision × the Weaver of Care
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.
Rooster
The Rooster is the herald of the dawn — the bird whose call starts the day and, in the old tale, drew the sun goddess back to the world. This thread tends to notice what is out of place and to say so.
It approaches life by standards: wake early, inspect everything, announce what is ready.
Type A
Type A is read, in the Japanese custom, as the weaver of care — the thread that checks the pattern twice. This reading tends to plan, to prepare, and to keep promises in small print as faithfully as in large.
In practice, the A thread works best with a visible plan and a standard to meet; praise lands deepest when it names the care that was taken.
The shadow in this thread is worry spent before the event: preparation can quietly become rehearsal of everything that might go wrong.
Strengths and tender spots
Strength: diplomacy that lets two proud people both keep their dignity
Gift: discernment — a Rooster's praise is worth more because its criticism is honest
Tender spot: postponing a necessary 'no' to keep a temporary peace
