Six in the Second feels influence in the calves — the muscles that propel us to follow. The impulse is to move toward the source of attraction, but moving prematurely brings misfortune. "Tarrying brings good fortune" — wait, let the influence develop naturally.
The calves want to walk, to pursue. But influence that is pursued too eagerly loses its natural quality and becomes chasing. True influence draws; it does not need to be chased.
Modern Insight: You feel the urge to pursue — a person, an opportunity, a desire. But acting on impulse now would be premature. Wait. Let the situation develop. Good fortune comes through patience, not pursuit.
