Who rises and who falls among equals
Siblings are read from the peers — the same-element companions — but the chapter immediately moves the judgement to the wealth spirit, since companions and wealth compete directly: what the peers take, the wealth star loses. Whether a sibling flourishes or declines, and whether you are helped or burdened by your equals, is decided by how heavy each side is and which one the chart actually needs. It is the same subtraction the reader has been doing since the first volume.
