Tiger Escape

Favors holding what you have: guard your post and your ground, standing on seniority and territory held, and challengers withdraw of themselves. Good for taking on security, risk-control, and garrison-type roles; do not resign and move far now — off home ground, the tiger is down on the plain.

Seek wealth by tending your own soil: deepening the established shop, keeping existing clients, and mining, mountain produce, and tourism all pay. Defensive assets beat aggressive expansion; when others eye your gains, this pattern says the ground can be held. Build the walls high and wait for rivals to think better of it.

Love favors defense and consolidation: tend the bond you have, and no third party finds a foothold. Those living apart should hold steady on the rhythm of contact and the baseline of trust; new romance fares poorly far afield — matches close to home, in familiar places or hill country, prove the more stable and lasting.

Sinew, bone, and spleen-stomach complaints want quiet convalescence at the root — Gen means stillness and the Rest Door means rest: settled recuperation beats running from doctor to doctor. Retreat to the quiet hills, practice still disciplines, and sleep early to bank vitality; no arduous travel while ill, lest old ailments relapse on the road.

Travel near, not far: short mountain trips and returns to old haunts pass safely — the northeast answers the Gen palace. Distant expeditions forfeit the defender's advantage; en route, lodge where the ground is strong and sheltered, enter the hills in company, and do not court perilous scenery.

Litigation favors the defending side: master motion through stillness, hold the evidentiary ground, and let the other side move first and show the flaw. Favorable when answering, contesting, or moving to dismiss; the pattern also augurs terms of peace — when the other side comes to settle, accept, close on the agreed terms, and do not press the rout.
