Waiting (Nourishment) in Career

Something you want — a promotion, a decision, a shift in the situation — isn't ripe, and pushing will set it back. Your real work is the quality of your waiting. The Image is exact: eat and drink, stay of good cheer. Keep delivering steadily and stay nourished rather than tense and monitoring, because doubt and impatience leak, and colleagues sense unease before you do. Line 1 counsels staying with what endures — reliable habits and principles — not reorganising everything around a challenge that hasn't arrived. Certainty that can wait calmly is itself what earns the advance.

A great crossing — a bigger role, a move, a real risk — may be exactly right, and the Judgment says it can succeed. But it succeeds through sincerity and inner readiness, not through bolting the moment restlessness peaks. If the timing isn't yet clear, this is a season for strengthening yourself and preparing the ground, not for a forced leap. Watch line 3, waiting in the mud: wading toward the change before it's ripe gets you stuck and exposed. And when a possibility arrives in an unfamiliar form (line 6's uninvited guests), honour it — the right opening often looks strange at first.
