where the Radiant Sun meets the Plow of the North Field
Presence woven with endurance, on the thread of the Free Thread.

Leo is the sign of the radiant sun. This thread tends to warm a room simply by being in it — recognition matters, not as vanity, but as proof the work was seen.
The Ox is the animal that plows the field in straight lines. This thread tends to trust effort over luck and to finish what it starts, season after season. It approaches life by routine: the same honest work, done well, until the field itself changes.
Type B is read, in the Japanese custom, as the free thread — the one that leaves the pattern to see what the cloth could be. This reading tends to follow real interest rather than the schedule on the wall. In practice, the B thread works best with room to roam and a deadline that is real; its honesty about what it actually wants is a form of respect.
Where the threads meet — the gift of this type is generous visibility that gives other people permission to shine, carried with the Ox's gift of reliability — people build plans around an Ox without thinking twice. The tender spot is double: waiting for applause before starting the quiet, unglamorous step; and the abandoned loom. A Leo Ox who knows both sides of that pattern is rarely surprised by their own weather.
In the Tsuki no Ito style, every type carries a past-life thread — the reason beneath the pattern. For this type it leads to the castle-town markets of the late 16th century, and the figure seen there is a keeper of storehouse ledgers. Its trace today: you still mend before you replace, and feel a small pride in the repair. The full thread is read in the paid readings.
The free page gives the pattern. A reading follows it through one theme and the living moon — from a single moon, to three moons, to the full weave.
