Comments for this reading

I was puzzled when I got this reading. Ultimately, this person did not work out. Pit upon pit usually signifies danger, so perhaps I have been lucky that the dangers of this double pit have been avoided. There is a central core lesson: when things don't go our way, as was the case here, the advice is always to keep one's own dignity and character: "tether your heart," "moves with constant virtue," and "repeatedly teaches the critical matters," all show that if we stay with our core values there will never be regret over a disappointing outcome.
