Rest Door

Strongly favors meeting leadership, reporting, job-seeking, and assuming office: soften your bearing and patrons will gladly lift you. Civil service and state enterprises benefit most from this steady door. When prosperous, ask for the promotion outright; when weak, hold steady and wait for the opening.

Legitimate income flows evenly — salary, rent, the long steady stream — and trade goes best with familiar faces and old customers. When prosperous, price talks and signings go smoothly; when weak, income is flat, so avoid heavy bets. For the direction of wealth, look to the palace where the Rest Door falls.

Highly auspicious for marital harmony: matchmaking, proposals, and reconciliations all prosper. The partner is gentle-tempered, domestic, and content. For couples locked in a cold war, this is precisely the moment to sit down and talk. Setting the wedding date when the Rest Door is prosperous adds further warmth.

Favors rest and recuperation: chronic conditions improve by degrees, and post-surgical recovery does best in quiet. Ailments center on the kidneys, urinary system, blood, and chills. Choose a quiet convalescent spot near water. Just out of a serious illness, don't rush back to work — take the full leave.

Journeys are smooth and unhurried — ideal for holidays, visiting family and friends, and travel to a new post. Racing on urgent business is not its strength; keep the itinerary loose. A trip by the water refreshes the spirit; dress warmly against the chill and expect no great danger.

Settle, don't fight: extend goodwill first, and benefactors will often step in to mediate. Mediation and pre-trial settlement carry high odds here. If the other side has no appetite for battle either, conceding one small step to buy a graceful exit is the smart trade.
