| Understanding the Wealth area |
   |
In order to bring fortunate blessings into your life, exploration into new territories is necessary. The traveler brings wisdom and profit from their journey, and reaches the destination by being adaptable yet stable and steadfast in reaching the goal.
Over the course of a long journey, pacing oneself and being open to change are vital to take advantage of shifting terrains and circumstances. Much as it takes resolve to conquer a mountain and make the elevated vantage point your own, moving in haste can leave one exposed to harsher elements when driven by the need to continuously charge forward.
If this area becomes overactive, there is a risk of "not stopping to smell the roses" and mistaking the destination for the journey. It is as important to be in the moment as it is to be en route to a distant goal. This area is ideal for collection of reminders of both accomplished goals and new horizons |
