Inner Integrity becomes Going Up
What this change means
A tree grows up from inside the earth: four lines move, and 61 Inner Integrity becomes 46 Going Up. The still second and fourth lines speak here. The second says that sincere words and good manners in your dealings with others will lead to success. The fourth says you can reach your goals now and gain recognition, even a measure of fame. So you're rising, and the rise is tied to sincerity. Keep your words true and your conduct courteous. That's not decoration; it's what makes the climb hold. As recognition comes, don't let it change how you treat people. Stay the same in public and in private. The ascent is the fruit of earlier dedicated work, and seeking help from important people now can carry it further.
