Eastern Oracle / mansion
Wei Mansion: The Supply Line
Wei appears when a plan depends less on inspiration than on what keeps arriving. In the 28-mansion sequence it is conventionally glossed as Stomach Mansion; DivePast calls its original oracle reading The Supply Line. The card asks what feeds the work: food, time, money, attention, rest, honest information, or a person who keeps the route open. A grand aim cannot travel farther than its supplies.

Traditional context
Wei is part of the White Tiger grouping in the traditional 28 lunar mansions and is conventionally glossed as Stomach Mansion. The astronomical reference does not establish a fixed modern oracle meaning. DivePast's Supply Line is a separate editorial interpretation rooted in the approved card manuscript.
DivePast reading
The Supply Line asks you to trace what must keep arriving for the effort to remain alive. Look beyond the launch. Who restocks the energy, checks the details, pays the cost, or remembers the next meal? The card favors modest reliability over a spectacular push. Strengthen the route before you ask the project, relationship, or body to go farther.
When the sign tightens
The shadow is assuming the first burst will feed the whole journey, ignoring maintenance, or treating care work as invisible because it happens behind the scenes. Do not wait for depletion to reveal the missing link. Find the recurring need and give it a named owner, a budget, a rhythm, or a resting place.
DivePast action
Trace one essential supply from source to use and repair its weakest link.
Question to keep
What must keep arriving for this effort to stay alive?
The traditional context names the 28-lunar-mansion reference; the DivePast reading is original editorial interpretation.
