Great Manifestation becomes Inner Integrity
What this change means
Wind over the Lake, open at the center: four lines move, and the still first and second lines of 61 Inner Integrity guide the reading. The first warns that if there's a wish to manipulate others behind what you do, your intentions will come to light. The second says your inner wholeness attracts kindred people ready to be generous with you. Great strength now has to be tested from the inside. Check your motives honestly. If any part of you is trying to steer people for your own ends, let it go. When you're whole within, it shows, and the right people respond. Truthfulness will gather more support than any display of power could. Let your conduct be your only argument.
