The current order is complete. Everything is in a delicate equilibrium. If something new needs to happen, let it start from a small seed in order to begin establishing a new order. Don’t upset the equilibrium.

Today: Let the small depart
Whatever is holding you back and thwarting your aspirations to elevation and enrichment, whether a person or or situation, don’t struggle with it. If you don’t feed its influence over you, it will leave of its own accord and you will regain awesome personal power.
Today: Speak softly and act with firmness, calmness and confidence
Exert your influence in small ways with gentle persuasion. Be sparing of words and act with confidence and conviction so that others who are held hostage by their prejudices and mistaken beliefs can begin to find liberation by your example.
Today: Be patient and confident
If what you seek is just out of reach or a long time coming, practice self restraint and become even more graceful. Control your fear and hold your confidence. You will be rewarded with opportunities that are commensurate with your creativity. You can then write your own ticket.
Today: Be graceful
Attend to today’s affairs as they come. Engage gracefully in small matters. Your grace can stimulate movement that nourishes those around you who are in need. It’s a good time to begin something new.
Today: Be keenly aware of your influence on others
What you say and what you do have an impact beyond the current place and moment. Your actions and words will emanate infinitely from a particular point in space and time and never be undone. Whether they are consiously felt by yourself and others in the moment does not change the nature of their projection and propagation. Whether they are overt and willful actions or the subtle projection of your presence in the now, or simply prayer, they are forever.

Today: Watch and listen
You have access to a wealth of experience around you that you can use to guide you. Your own inexperience should not impede your successfully navigating the many choices you face. Do not fear making choices thereby becoming paralyzed, nor rush into action with youthful folly. Your actions may seem ineffective at first or not enough, but the wise choices will pan out in the end. If you know the choice is right, the result will be favorable. Keep your eyes open and learn from your own and others’ experience. Remember what you have been taught.
Today: Start fresh – from the I Ching
It is a good day to begin something, or begin something again. Regardless of how previous efforts were subverted, there now will be little resistance to your loftiest intentions. If mistakes were made we can press reset and begin again with a blank slate. If previously we did not know how to begin, we can proceed now confidently.
Today: Go within and adapt yourself to the demands of the times – from the I Ching
Allow external matters to be what they are. Go within yourself to find how you can adapt to the demands of the time and relate with all that is going on around you. You will find that there are kindred spirits who are engaging the same natural attractions and who will follow your example. Engage them and still others will take notice and follow.
Today: Refuse the fruit offered by the serpent
Oppressors are attempting to seize power, violently, if necessary. It is a situation of which many people are totally unaware. When fruit offered by the serpent is refused, the snake swallows its own tail and the light is restored. The main point is to remain grounded in reality and develop intuition so that subterfuge can be recognized and the damage it causes be avoided. There is nothing to be done other than to be aware and to look into one’s personal blind spots using the tools that we have been given.
Today: Accept rewards for your deeds
Accept rewards for your deeds, whether from on high or from the humble whom you have helped to elevate. Whether it is what you expected or needed, allow them to feel that they have repaid you. Keep an attitude of gratitude. Further the expansion and clarity of your purest intentions.

Today: Day of Reckoning – from the I Ching
Shock and thunder from the heavens bring a reckoning and justice. They can bring distraction from reflection and clarity of vision to the point of insanity. The best thing is to keep still until composure and clarity are restored. If you can give distance to the sources of agitation, you can remain free of mistakes and injury though you may be derided by those around you. Then you will be passed over as justice has its due.
Today: Peace and Prayer – from the I Ching
Today, the small departs and the great approaches. Expect good fortune and success. For now, heaven and earth have united, so it is a good and powerful time for prayer and advancing peace. It is a good time to elevate ourselves and those around us through our word. It is a good time to forget differences and divisions and release our expectations of others. The greatly blessed and less fortunate, powerful and humble can come together in unity with the greatness within us and project our divinity into the world.

Today: Fear and trembling – from the I Ching
The thunder of the day is shocking. Fear and trembling. Forget the words. Forget the expressed opinions and preferences and the scenarios they offer.
Always be filled with reverence at the manifestation of God, setting your life in order and searching your heart, lest you harbor any secret opposition to the will of God. Thus reverence is the foundation of true culture.

Today: The Matrix of Us – from the I Ching
What is always with us and within us is the collective psyche of whom we identify with. That’s we, just as the soul is I. In Western terms (Jung) it is the collective unconscious. In yogic tradition it is interconnectedness through our subtle bodies. Enjoy the times that bring a strong perception of common awareness with our brothers and sisters. That is now.
Meditation Merge with the consciousness of others.
