where the Balanced Scale meets the Flock on the Green Hill
Harmony woven with kindness, on the thread of the Open Loom.

Libra is the sign of the balanced scale. This thread tends to read both sides before speaking — fairness is not indecision here, it is the work itself.
The Goat is the flock on the green hill (in some traditions rendered as the Sheep). This thread tends to put the group's comfort first and to make beauty out of ordinary days. It approaches life by harmony: feed everyone, mend the fence, keep the hill pleasant.
Type O is read, in the Japanese custom, as the open loom — the frame the other threads hang on. This reading tends to gather people, set a generous pace, and aim at the outcome rather than the procedure. In practice, the O thread leads best in the open: clear goal, public credit, and details happily delegated to careful hands.
Where the threads meet — the gift of this type is diplomacy that lets two proud people both keep their dignity, carried with the Goat's gift of warmth — people heal faster around a Goat, including the Goat, when it remembers itself. The tender spot is double: postponing a necessary 'no' to keep a temporary peace; and the skipped stitch. A Libra Goat 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 Muromachi mountain temples of the 15th century, and the figure seen there is a ferry rower on a wide river. Its trace today: you still glance at the moon before a journey or a decision. 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.
