PreambleThe light rises, and as the morning sun gets stronger it clears the horizon. Now in full view, the day asserts itself. Heaven and Earth seem to meet. Our hexagram today, T’ai, channels that image. It is one of peace, and a clear progression from the previous situation of Fu, which had a single yang line at its base. Now the light has risen to the third line. This is a time of harmony and prosperity, which is hopefully felt where you are. Use this time both for enjoyment, and as opportunity to try to understand why the current harmony is here. Perhaps lessons can be drawn from it that will serve us in future.Oracle outputs1st: 5,4,4 > Stable Yang 2nd: 5,4,8 > Stable Yang 3rd: 5,8,4 > Changing Yang 4th: 5,4,8 > Stable Yin 5th: 5,4,8 > Changing Yin 6th: 5,8,4 > Stable Yin HexagramThe hexagram for this week is T’ai, Peace.11.Above: K’un, EarthBelow: Ch’ien, HeavenThe JudgementPeace. The small departs, The great approaches. Good fortune. Success.The ImageMidjourney prompt: "Heaven and earth unite: the image of Peace"The Lines2 lines are in change this week, in the third and fifth places. The third line reminds us that whilst good fortune is with us now, all things are subject to change.No plain not followed by a slope. No going not followed by a return.In this way, we are reminded of the Dao’s unending process of change. Only by keeping our inner nature above the external rhythms of fortune and decline do we rise above fate. The fifth line, which is a yin line, emphasises the value in modest action. Think of how someone of higher rank still listens to the requests of someone they love. This is what will be rewarded with good fortune.Closing remarksNone this week. Blessings to you all.
