Let it happen. Yesterday’s reading indicated that a breakthrough is near. It has not happened yet. Until then, oppressive powers are on the march and are nearing their zenith. Misfortune has reached its peak. Once complete the occupants of seats of power will begin to break the structures of power and themselves. It cannot be avoided. Let it happen. It is wise to submit and avoid action. Continue reading “Today: Let it happen – from the I Ching”

Today: on the cusp; fearlessly use your natural attraction and influence – from the I Ching
A breakthrough is in the works. Even though outwardly we appear to be in a time of grave danger, have no fear. You can ride it out. It is a time when inferior people gradually begin to disappear. Their influence is on the wane; as a result of resolute action, a change in conditions occurs, a break-through.

Today: Lie low, do not fly too high, good things will come – from the I Ching
Lie low, do not fly too high. Be patient, good things will come.
Today: Heal what has been spoiled by neglect – from the I Ching
You didn’t cause it, but you can help to sweep away corruption and stagnation that has been allowed to develop by those who have gone before you. In doing so, you will need the help of others. Through your own radiance and strength of spirit, inspire others to take up the cause to right the wrongs and together purify the consciousness of your community. Speak gently and subtly and allow your intentions to be carried on the wind.
Today: Reconciling differences – from the I Ching
Differences seem irreconcilable. What should be understood is that differences of individuality are internal and need not preclude coming together over external matters that affect both parties. Through minimal discourse small things may be resolved even if great undertakings may not succeed given the climate of divergent views. What precludes any progress toward reaching agreement is the notion of each party that the other is the enemy. Continue reading “Today: Reconciling differences – from the I Ching”
Today: Justice will be delivered – from the I Ching
Justice will be delivered. The current condition of chaos and disunity has revealed itself and run its course. The obstacles have been recognized, and now it is up to courageous individuals to reverse the trend. Continue reading “Today: Justice will be delivered – from the I Ching”
Today: Be modest and lie low – from the I Ching
In humility, remain supremely modest. Do not push too much nor bring too much attention to yourself. Do not focus too closely or narrowly on your goals. It would be very easy for you to be blindsided by unforeseen attacks. Instead, wait for your message to be heard and your example seen. Soon, your resonance with the spirit of the people will be recognized. An unbounded enthusiasm will spring from their hearts as they join in the cosmic flow with you. It is a primal dance that will be self-sustaining and far reaching.
Today: A common goal – from the I Ching
Enjoy gathering and working with people of like mind. Engage where it is truly useful. Avoid encouraging people who are merely seeking your influence for their own ends. Remain neutral with people who are simply feeding off you. Then they will begin to trust you for who you are.
The task at hand is to lead the world out of confusion and back to order. Establish a common goal among your friends that will unite forces that are now tending in different directions. With determination and caution each will find the means of contributing to that goal and bringing it to success.
Today: Gentle persuasion – from the I Ching
Speak softly and act gently with confidence. Your intentions will be carried on the wind. With your persistence, their impact, not necessarily felt, will be far-reaching and effective. Resistance, no matter how dense, intransigent and rigid, cannot hold under ceaseless influence.
Have a clear goal with a clear direction. Follow through on your promises and lead by example.
Today: Under siege – from the I Ching
Current peaceful circumstances will give way to calamatous events against which there is no effective defense. Walls built to protect will not hold. Resorting to violent resistance will not work.
The only solution is to hold your own among your closest circles and wait it out. Hold firm, hold together, hold back. Hold firmly to great creative powers and store them up. Hold firm in the truth. Hold firm in devoted caring and nurturing.
Strengthen your character by learning the lessons of the past. Apply your knowledge and experience to serve in whatever capacity is useful. Get out there and do something.
Today: Thunder, shock and transformation – from the I Ching
When calamity strikes, and it will, those around you will react and lose clarity of vision. They will suffer for it. If you do not react, you can escape serious consequences. Keep still until composure and clarity are restored. If you withdraw in time from the affair at hand you will remain free of mistakes and injury. That will draw resentment and possible contempt from your neighbors, but pay no mind to that. Continue reading “Today: Thunder, shock and transformation – from the I Ching”
Today: Rebirth – from the I Ching
You are about to experience a rebirth — about to be given another chance, a new lease on life. It is a time in which tensions and complications begin to be eased. Return to the regular order of life as soon as deliverance is achieved. If there are any residual matters that ought to be attended to, it should be done as quickly as possible. A return to normalcy calls for a decision and is an act of self-mastery. Pardon mistakes and forgive misdeeds. Begin again with a clean slate.
Today: Fellowship – from the I Ching
Enjoy a peaceful union and fellowship with others. True fellowship must be based on a concern that is universal, not the private interests of the individual.
Due to differences, there is mistrust. If the differences do not come to blows, then eventually, clarity forms from within the union and the fellowship begins to prosper.
It is best to wait and bide your time when destiny is at work. Do not worry and seek to shape the future by interfering in things before the time is ripe. The rain will come.
Today: Inspire great enthusiasm – from the I Ching
In tune with the primal rhythm of nature, you are in a position to inspire great enthusiasm in those around you to join and participate in the cosmic dance. You may call on the forces of nature to rally your friends to join you in the great movement. When you feel great thunder coming from deep within the earth, great things can be achieved.
Today: Sharing your treasures – from the I Ching
Sharing your treasures freely shows the proper attitude toward your possessions and those with whom you are filling in the gaps by sharing God’s grace.
Today: Conflict & Justice – from the I Ching
Matters of conflict should be brought before a just arbiter who has the authority to rule in favor of what is right. If you are in the right, then you will succeed. Present circumstances are nearing a resolution and an end. Be patient.
