Sea-Sky Wayfinder
What It Points To
Section titled “What It Points To”A person with this pattern keeps track of direction when conditions keep changing. They do not need every step marked; they read small signs and adjust before others feel lost. You’d see this in the friend who notices the group has drifted off plan, checks the sky, the map, and the mood, then quietly points everyone back.
Integration property: Keeps a vessel composed as the sea and weather shift
