56. The Wanderer

Judgment

A traveler without a settled home base, needing to rely on adaptability, modesty, and careful conduct rather than established standing.

The Image

Fire on the mountain: the image of a flame that moves on rather than settling into one place.

Guidance

In unfamiliar territory, adaptability and quiet good conduct will serve you better than asserting authority you haven't yet earned there. Travel light, and treat the situation with respect.
