Roots First, Then Branches

Things have their root and their branches. Affairs have their end and their beginning.

A chart is read in layers: long cycles underneath, passing days on top. A life can be read the same way. When everything feels urgent, you can ask which matter is the root and start there.

Pick one worry and trace it back three steps: what it is about, what sits under that, and what sits under that. Spend ten minutes on the root.
