Lapp shelter


CHANGING LINE:

Hexagram Fifty-Six/Line Four


Nine in the fourth place means:
The wanderer rests in a shelter.
He obtains his property and an axe.
My heart is not glad.


Dwarven Axe

This describes a wanderer who knows how to limit his desires outwardly, though he is inwardly strong and aspiring. Therefore he finds at least a place of shelter in which he can stay. He also succeeds in acquiring property, but even with this he is not secure. He must be always on guard, ready to defend himself with arms. Hence he is not at ease. He is persistently conscious of being a stranger in a strange land.
