Inner Integrity becomes The Flame
What this change means
Brightness rises twice: the four middle lines move, and inner trust becomes 30 The Flame. The two still lines, the first and the top, guide the reading. The first asks you to stay calm and focused on your projects, without getting caught up in the noise around you. The top says that recognizing your mistakes and making the needed corrections leads to success. So clarity is on offer, and your inner self can guide you toward your goals. Two things protect it. Keep your attention from scattering into other people's commotion. And keep looking honestly at what you've done, correcting where needed. A generous attitude that shares your light will increase your gains. Integrity and clarity go together here: the more honest you are with yourself, the brighter the path.
