Auspice 10: The Guardian

Return. Brighter than before by half.

For Nod, stewardship is care of the garden and defense of the will. The Guardian is a steward among people. Stewardship feeds Hidden Dragon. The Guardian scratches the Dragon’s belly.

Variation: Bar

Steady on course. Deflect the surging past while what comes next emerges.

Auspice 16: Perseverance

Daystar and Nova. Abiding Sun beats in season; a burst in the heavens sets precedent.

Undistracted by tides of fashion, Nod perseveres in chores at hand. Modesty, energy, and determination draw Perseverance to Hidden Dragon. Without this conditions degenerate.

Variation: Ring

The Great Teacher wears the guise of adversity. Creativity as well as Perseverance is required.

Auspice 17: The Earth

Nova among the Myriad Stars. Burst upon the scape of time, radiance in the shape of night, this nameless earth.

The real mystery is not hidden, but dances on every side. Trying to lead the dance, Nod falls into error. Following brings bounteous reward. Following means nothing by force.
