Guided Return

Returning like an animal led on a leash. Wise Words! The Way opens. You have been lost and confused but are hauled back to what is important. Have no concern for glory or achievement. Locate yourself in the center and nourish your people. All cause for sorrow and discord will soon disappear. Tread on and part with the past. Gather energy for a decisive new move.

This brings good fortune, because he does not needlessly jeopardize himself.
