Description

Analysis

This is an important Convergence, and you must be part of it. Look for the Center of this convergence. Like waters running to the sea, like an astronomical convergence of planets revolving around the sun, you should let the gravity of this Center draw you near. Others are also drawn to this Center, and among them you will find shared bonds and kindred spirits. This tribal convergence will give you a clarity of purpose. You will no longer be alone.

Changing Lines

Line 1

You seem to blow both hot and cold, sometimes seeking to join in, sometimes shrinking away. Admit your fears out loud, and a true companion will answer. Joy returns.

Line 2

It will prove good fortune to allow yourself to be drawn into this group. Attract an invitation by having something small but sincere to offer.

Line 3

You strive to find common ground that doesn't exist. Sighing in sadness and walking away would be understood, though you may think less of yourself.

Line 4

No one will begrudge you the good fortune ahead.

Line 5

You are in a position to bring people together and lead them. At first there will be doubters and detractors, but your calm resolve will win even their hearts.

Line 6

A gathering of mourners. No one is to blame.
